From September 1st:
A Fairbanks man was charged with felony drug misconduct this week after he took delivery of 126 grams of Ecstasy shipped to him from the Netherlands.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents discovered the drugs Aug. 22 after they opened a suspicious package at a U.S. Postal Service facility in San Francisco. The package, which did not have a tracking number and was addressed to Dontell Rashad Jones in Fairbanks, contained 487 green Ecstasy tablets in the shape of a ghost, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday.
The Ecstasy was then shipped through secure channels to investigators with the Fairbanks office of the Statewide Drug Enforcement Unit, who repackaged it and arranged a controlled delivery to Jones' 26th Avenue address. Jones was found with the opened package shortly after it was delivered, according to the complaint.
Ecstasy is a Schedule I federally controlled substance with stimulant and hallucinogenic effects. It sells for $20 to $40 a tablet and the street value of the drugs shipped to Jones is approximately $15,000, according to the complaint.
Jones is charged with felony second-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance. At the time of his arrest, Jones was under conditions of release for fourth-degree assault, according to the complaint.
Employees with the Anchorage office of the Postal Service and the Anchorage office of the Department of Homeland Security participated in the investigation.
And people will still keep asking whether or not its safe to order from NL.
