Pot, Pee-wee Herman, and Captain Kirk.OCTOBER 2--Federal agents last month intercepted four packages containing more than 33 pounds of marijuana that were addressed to characters from “Star Trek” and “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure,” The Smoking Gun has learned.
The four Priority Mail packages were dropped off September 18 by an unidentified male at an Office Depot store in Roseville, California, a city about 20 miles from Sacramento. The sender paid $228.60 in cash to ship the boxes, each of which was destined for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Two of the parcels were addressed to “Francis Buxton.” A check of law enforcement databases revealed that nobody with that name was associated with the address where the packages were to be delivered. In fact, federal agents reported that they could not identify a “Francis Buxton” anywhere in Pennsylvania.
The other two packages were addressed to “Cyrano Jones” at a second Philadelphia address. Again, investigators could locate nobody with that name in Pennsylvania (let alone the specific recipient address on the parcels).
