Federal agents are on the hunt for more than 1,700 pounds of marijuana that disappeared during a controlled drug delivery from Memphis to Kentucky. Members of the Interstate Interdiction Unit pulled over a tractor trailer on Feb. 10 that contained 1,700 pounds of marijuana, according to a Memphis Police Department travel memo obtained under Tennessee's public records law.

Drug Enforcement Administration officials asked that the load be delivered to its destination in Louisville while officers trailed the shipment. MPD officers and two Shelby County sheriff's deputies accompanied the load, according to the memo. Things went awry in the Bluegrass State.

According to law enforcement officials with knowledge of the delivery, officials watched the tractor trailer travel to its intended destination. Soon after, several vehicles pulled up, left and then came back. They stayed several hours and then left. When officials later checked the tractor trailer, the drugs were gone.

"DEA is conducting an investigation into drug trafficking, and I can't comment any further than that," said Keith Brown, resident agent-in-charge of the Memphis DEA office. Tom Gorman, assistant special agent-in-charge of the Louisville district office of DEA, also had no comment.

[DeSwiss]

6. What's amazing to me is.....

...the DEA had the nerve to call this: a controlled drug delivery?

- So I have to wonder what happens when they're uncontrolled????

[ProfessorGAC]

54. Lifetime Supply?

Even Bob Marley wouldn't have gone through that much in one lifetime. It's more like a lifetime supply for a small town.

4. D'Oh

[sendero]

5. I'm starting to think..

... the wingnuts are right, government can't find it's own ass with both hands and a map.

In this case, I could give a sh*t.

[DeSwiss]

8. DEA Agents....

...couldn't agree with you more. DEA Agents ----->

[PVnRT]

43. The one on the left looks to be getting a bit paranoid

[dysfunctional press]

7. dea agents always have the best weed...

and some of them apparently have A LOT of it.

[DeSwiss]

9. Of course they do!!!

That's why they're still busting the medical marijuana places out west.

- And the hell with any damn memos from the DOJ!!!

[Skink]

10. That's funny those Somali pirates just let that oil tanker go.

11. I'm never that lucky.

How I wish I were.

[DeSwiss]

13. Well at least now....

...you know the right route to take to go "looking."

[Incitatus]

14. HA HA!

[DeSwiss]

16. HO HO!

[SlingBlade]

15. Sounds like the DEA is gonna have one hellava X-Mass Party.

[DeSwiss]

17. Which I will have to miss....

...seeing how I'm allergic to the DEA.

- Very allergic!

[SlingBlade]

37. Funny, Me Too :)

[kestrel91316]

18. If I found 1700 lb of pot, I'd gladly let the DEA know that I had found 1695 lb.

[DeSwiss]

21. You meant to say 1500 lbs. didn't you!?!?!

;)

[kestrel91316]

27. Nah, I don't want any more than I can stuff into an average safe deposit box.

[guitar man]

51. not me

I drive a pickup truck! :evilgrin:

[aquart]

19. I wish I were clever enough to plot how this was done.

Doesn't it look like Brad Pitt's next movie to you?

[seeinfweggos]

23. the kentucky job. the script writes itself. nt

[aquart]

30. Good. Because I have no clue.

I only ask that it be simple but ingenius.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

49. the Blew Grass state

[seeinfweggos]

50. +1

[gateley]

22. As soon as they locate that pesky $8 Billion that went missing, they'll get right on this. nt

[seeinfweggos]

25. and all those glocks nt

[NoFace]

24. Seriously, don't these Keystone Kops have something better to do? NT

[Mythbuster]

26. Hey, if I had any idea about the whereabouts

of 1700 lbs of pot, I'd... uh... uh... what? Quit changing the subject like that... what? :smoke: :smoke: :smoke:

[old mark]

28. Boy, am I hungry.......nt

[petronius]

29. Am I missing something here?

"Soon after, several vehicles pulled up, left and then came back. They stayed several hours and then left. When officials later checked the tractor trailer, the drugs were gone."

Maybe those people spent the several hours moving the drugs into their several vehicles? :shrug:

[Q3JR4]

31. Something tells me that the DEA is never going to

see the 1700 pounds of pot again.

Q3JR4
I could totally be wrong but if 1700 pounds of pot showed up on my doorstep you better believe that nobody outside of a small circle of stoner friends is going to hear about it.

:hippie:

[Mike K]

33. One big problem you'd have is -

-where to keep it. Can you imagine how 1,700 pounds of resinous bud must smell? You'd have every stoner and dope-sniffing dog in a five mile radius converging on your stash.

[Veruca Salt]

35. It'd be like zombies attacking... only worse!

:rofl: That mental image is going to keep me entertained for hours.

[XemaSab]

45. BUUUDS BUUUUUUDS!

:o

[drm604]

32. Huh? What?

According to law enforcement officials with knowledge of the delivery, officials watched the tractor trailer travel to its intended destination. Soon after, several vehicles pulled up, left and then came back. They stayed several hours and then left. When officials later checked the tractor trailer, the drugs were gone.

I'm not even sure what this is saying. The law enforcement officials sat and watched other vehicles come then go then come back and hang out for several hours? They then checked later and found the pot was gone? What? :shrug: They didn't confront the occupants of the vehicles at some point? They weren't watching the trailer doors?

[winyanstaz]

36. Guess they didnt check the licence numbers of the vehicles that showed up :P

Ok it has to be said...
The Kentucky pot heist IS AN INSIDE JOB!
:P

[Occulus]

38. I just *know* you can say "inside job".

This stinks to high heaven. In a skanky, chronic way :D

[B Calm]

39. bingo

[MineralMan]

40. This sounds vaguely familiar...let me think...

Oh, yeah. It's kinda like the 15 lb of Thai sticks that disappeared from our local sheriff's dept. evidence locker some years back. They sorta never did find it, and the arrestees had to be released, since there was no evidence of the contraband.

The investigation into the strange disappearance never did come to any conclusion. I personally think the investigators smoked it all up. But...maybe...it was that special disappearing Thai stick I read about in High Times. Yeah...that's the ticket.

[snooper2]

41. $680,000 worth....selling it at $400lb

That would unload pretty quickly... :evilgrin:

[Buddyblazon]

44. $400 dollars a pound?

Living here in the Wild West during the Green Rush (Denver is going through a marijuana boom right now...we have more dispensaries than banks or Starbucks)...unless it's bricked up weed from south of the border...that price is VERY VERY low.

Dispensaries here are currently paying growers $1000 a quarter pound. Times that by 4...you get $4000 a pound. Times that by 1700...the number comes out to:

$6,800,000.

I don't know anywhere that you can buy a pound of Marijuana for $400. And if that place exists, that Marijuana is unusable.

[rcrush]

47. .

[PVnRT]

42. Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude

[rcrush]

46. Yeah right The DEA "lost" 1700 pounds of Marijuana.

They lost it real good and probably turned a nice profit on it to.

[BakedAtAMileHigh]

48. the DEA are idiot thugs

and Obama just let Michele Leonhart take over. Ugh.

[Romulox]

52. Oh no! Who will protect us from all that marijuana? DEA = INCOMPETENT stormtroopers.

[era veteran]

53. This was the first time I heard of this

Of course 3/4 ton of weed in KY is a trite subject. The razor tells me it could be an inside job.
