BETHLEHEM, PA – Interstate commerce between New York City and Pennsylvania was disrupted on Monday after a 52-year-old New York man was arrested after picking up a marijuana shipment in Bethlehem.
According to the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office, the package was picked up at a local freight company. Inside, was 46 pounds of marijuana.
Police tracked the package to Pennsylvania and had a drug-sniffing k-9 affirm the contents prior to the man’s arrival.
Yuan Rong Wang arrived to pick up the order on Monday and was pulled over by police shortly after leaving the facility. Wang said he was simply paid $500 to drive to Pennsylvania to pickup the package, but claims he didn’t know what was inside.
It was the second time he made such a trip, police alleged.
