A 13-pound package of marijuana delivered by the Post Office to a Salina home Friday, has landed 20-year-old Evan Stirn in jail on drug charges that include possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.

Lt. Sean Morton says the I-135/I-70 Drug Task Force was contacted by the Postal Service about a suspicious package. After obtaining the search warrant, they opened the package, and discovered the marijuana.

After arranging a controlled delivery, the package was delivered and the Drug Task Force obtained a search warrant for 1005 Burr Oak Lane, the home of Stirn.

Along with the box of pot, they found another small amount of marijuana, and drug paraphernalia.

Street value of the delivered marijuana is placed at $20,800.
