In 2015, Jeffrey Williams of Tallahassee arranged for an acquaintance of his...Cynthia Richardson to take delivery of a USPS Overnight Express pkg. containing 2.2 lbs of California weed. Before delivery was made, local Tallahassee LE were tipped off by Postal Inspectors of a suspicious pkg. addressed to a "Key Phillips" that had arrived overnight from California. A quick check by Inspectors showed there no one by that name on record as living at the address which was an apt. complex. A Controlled Delivery of the pkg. was attempted by Inspectors at the listed address. Cynthia Richardson answered the knock on her door, identified herself as Key Phillips, and signed for the parcel as Key Phillips. When the inspector then informed her of his suspicion that the pkg contained drugs, she quickly fessed up that she was merely accepting the package on behalf of her friend, Jeff. The Inspectors obtained her consent to open the pkg and found 2.2 lbs weed. Richardson agreed to text her friend Jeff to come pick up his package while the Inspectors waited. When Jeff Williams appeared he was immediately arrested and charged with conspiracy to possess with intent.
Before trial, Williams' lawyer successfully petitioned the court with a motion to dismiss the drug parcel evidence based on the eventual determination that "law enforcement should have known that the third party did not have authority to consent to the search." The State appealed the decision to the District Court of Appeals and won a reversal of the lower court ruling.
