USPS package filled with drugs leads police to suspected dealer

Not sure if it's DNM related but I came across this article today, stay vigilante comrades!

"A package containing 1,000 grams of bath salts originating from Shanghai, China and addressed to a residence in Towanda Borough led police to a suspected bath salt dealer, Monday.

Police said the estimated street value of the confiscated 2.2 pounds of drugs is $100,000.

Jack Tyler Maloney-Williams, 23, of Towanda has been charged with attempt to deliver a controlled substance, attempt to possess a controlled substance and criminal use of a communication facility in relation to the incident.

The arrest stemmed from an investigation by state police in collaboration with a Pennsylvania State Parole agent after authorities were notified that a package containing suspected bath salts was at the USPS post office on Main Street in Towanda.

Police set up surveillance outside of the residence that the package was to be delivered to, 106 Sayre St. in Towanda, and watched a postal carrier deliver the box to the house.

Police then made contact with a person inside the home, Randi Potter, according to an affidavit of probable cause. Potter told police that she did not order the package and showed them text messages from Maloney-Williams asking if the mail had been delivered 15 minutes prior to its arrival, the affidavit states.

Maloney-Williams also allegedly sent a text to Potter saying, "I have the whole thing sold for five grand right now."

Potter told police that she does not see Maloney-Williams often and that he only stops by once in a while to take a shower and see his niece and nephew, the affidavit revealed. She said that Maloney-Williams had started using bath salts again.

Police then interviewed Maloney-Williams, who admitted to ordering the package from China through his iPhone.

The bath salts inside the package tested positive during a field test conducted by police, court documents show.

In December 2013, Maloney-Williams received sentencing from the Bradford County Court of Common Pleas to serve a minimum of two years in prison after he pled guilty to two charges of possessing with the intent to deliver a controlled substance after police found him in possession of 600 grams of bath salts, police said. He was released on Jan. 28, 2015 after imprisonment at State Correctional Institution - Camp Hill and Quehanna Boot Camp. When he was arrested on Monday, Maloney-Williams was subject to parole conditions, police said.

Maloney-Williams was arraigned Monday by Magisterial District Judge Fred Wheaton and remanded to the Bradford County Correctional Facility in lieu of $75,000 bail.

He is scheduled to appear before Magisterial District Judge Timothy Clark at 10 a.m. on July 29 for a preliminary hearing"

Welp, he played that well. Generally speaking, the rules here are to involve other people in your activities, have them rat you out, and when confronted by LE, just admit it - b/c you know, they aren't really interested in you.

Would be curious how they knew to find the pack in the first place.

This isn't too far from my hometown. No surprise -- the state police have cracked down really hard on mail order drugs in northeastern PA.

I couldn't help myself from going to the original article just to see if those Pennsylvanians seriously ended the article in "on July 29 for a preliminary hearin". OP missed a G and went all country on our asses.
