In the truth is stranger than fiction category or you can't make this nonsense up - Man Busted Over Pot-Filled Bear Aug 17, 2005 2:36 pm US/Eastern ROHNERT PARK, Calif. (AP) The owner of an overnight mailing business grew suspicious of a customer who sent a package to different addresses in Wisconsin every two weeks. His hunch was right. A quick inspection of the customer’s latest package revealed an unusually heavy teddy bear with a crude stitch on the back, so the businessman called police. Investigators opened the bear, unrolled 30 feet of cellophane and found a heat-sealed plastic bag at the center of the teddy filled with roughly a pound of marijuana. Gilberto Perez Pereira, 43, and Susan Janette Roark, 48, were arrested after an investigation, Rohnert Park police said Monday. Pereira told police that he was sending the packages for a friend and that he didn’t know what was inside the boxes. Pereira allegedly provided a fake name to the mailing business, but police said he was easily tracked because he repeatedly called the business to ask why his package hadn’t been mailed. Pereira was being held on a $25,000 bail for possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, shipment of drugs over state lines, and other charges, police said. well duh
