Nearly 600 Pounds Of Pot Seized In Fort Wayne

[The General]

Authorities have seized nearly 600 pounds of marijuana during a raid of a Fort Wayne house. Allen County Sheriff's Department spokesman Jeremy Tinkel says officers from the county's drug task force, along with state and local police and federal agents seized the marijuana Tuesday after surveillance of a delivery to the house on Fort Wayne's north side. Officers reported seizing 550 pounds of marijuana that had been delivered and 32 pounds already packaged for sale. Officials estimated the marijuana was worth about $580,000. Tinkel says 49-year-old Luis Perez and 23-year-old Alvaro Rivera, both of Fort Wayne, were arrested and charged with dealing marijuana. Initial court hearings were scheduled for Wednesday. Court records didn't list attorneys for them. Tinkel says the case remains under investigation.

That must some seriously low quality stuff if they say it is worth $580,000.

Exactly what I was thinking too. 582 lbs x 16 oz = 9,312 oz. $580,000 would make it $62 oz. That's what I paid in 1984 for regs.

Commerical quality has been getting a lot better lately imo. It still smells like crap and will have big stems and seeds, but the genetics are beter. The trip it takes and the size of the operations are what ruin it by the time it makes it to our doors.


Sounds like these 2 guys got greedy. Dont they know it would be tough to mail anything that weighed over 50 lbs?Never mind 550lbs

62 an oz seems expensive when talking a quarter ton of weed. Ive always seen commercial around for $80 to $130.

Around 9/11 it was much harder to get and prices went up for a little while,but i think thats what kicked off the indoor grow craze we have seen the last decade.
