Police K-9 Finds 14 Pounds of Pot in Package at Post Office

A police dog found more than 14 pounds of marijuana in a package waiting to be mailed in Maryland.

One person has been arrested after the U.S. Postal Inspector's office contacted the Anne Arundel County Sheriff's Office, asking for help with two suspicious packages.

After a deputy and his K-9 arrived, the dog inspected several parcels. The K-9 reacted to one parcel by wagging his tail and barking.

The postal inspector applied for a warrant for the package that the dog identified. When authorities opened the package, they found 14.3 pounds of marijuana inside.

The postal inspector then set up a controlled delivery at an address in Greenbelt. One person was arrested as a result.

Additional information on the suspect hasn't been released.
