St. Petersburg Police Arrest Man Connected To 230 Pounds Of Pot And $187,000 In Cash!
St. Petersburg Police have arrested a man connected to 230 pounds of pot, $187,000 in cash and several guns. Officers also confiscated extravagant jewelry from 24-year-old Vaughn Matthews' apartment. At the same time, United States Postal Service investigators became suspicious about packages being delivered to his home all the way from Los Angeles. The USPS and SPPD then started a joint investigation. Police served a warrant for Matthews' home on March 23. According to Chief Holloway, Matthews never told his supplier that he had been pinched and the packages kept coming. The last delivery was two days ago. Police continued to collect the drugs and cash the entire time. Holloway says the bust puts a huge dent in the Bay Area's marijuana trade and is potentially the tip of the iceberg in a national or international drug ring. Posted By Persist
