You’re Soaking In It

A mail carrier in Conway, Ark., called police because he was suspicious of a package he was to deliver. A police dog alerted that the package contained drugs, so officers had the carrier deliver it to the recipient — and then knocked on the addressee’s door to catch him in possession of the drugs. When they did, Justin Omar Austin, 21, had allegedly opened the package — which police say contained hair gel infused with “high-grade marijuana” — and had slathered the gel all over himself. Police said in all, Austin had 1.7 pounds of pot. Austin claimed the package wasn’t his. He was arrested anyway, and charged with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
