You Can’t Mail Yourself 18 Pounds Of Meth

Sean Roberts December 13th, 2022
The man was sentenced to prison this week.

If you’ve ever thought to yourself “I wonder if I could fly to California, set up a meth buy and mail the drugs back to myself back in Florida”, the answer is a big nope.
The U.S. Department of Justice, which does not condone such activities, showed its disapproval of the suspect’s activities by sentencing him to 10 years in federal prison on Monday. Authorities say a Tarpon springs man tried to mail himself 18 pounds of methamphetamine. The plan was flawed, though. And that’s how he wound up in the clink. According to the DOJ, 40-year-old Jason Ryan Hardy pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine earlier this year.
Hardy attracted the attention of special agents when he flew to California back in 2020 to set up a delivery of a large quantity of meth back home to Florida. When the package arrived at the shipping facility in California, officials found some suspicious indicators and notified the Department of Justice. The package had the same address listed for the return and shipment information. When police searched the package, they found 18 pounds of methampehtamine, which is a big no-no. After that, police waited for the man to contact the shipping company. Three days later, the man called to ask about the shipment. When doing so, he gave his real contact information to agents. All joking aside, when Homeland security Investigations Assistant Special Agent Micah McCombs told reporters “HSI special agents, working with our partners from the Tarpon Springs Police Department and the Pasco Sheriff’s Office, prevented large amounts of methamphetamine from entering our neighborhoods and have certainly saved lives.” Source: WFLA.com

Doing Burnouts In The Shark Truck

Sean Roberts was conceived in the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky by two passionate, panel aligning, third shifters who had grown bored with the same ole same ole. Upon birth, he was placed in the trunk of a new Stingray and sent off to find his destiny. That destiny included several stints on radio stations across the United States. Some played punk country gospel, while others focused on Croatian death metal played backwards. After many years and many adventures, Sean wound up on The Shark, where he does shots of tequila while playing the most badass tunes ever created by humankind. He remains humble, however, never forgetting about the lean years...the street corners and dark alleys where he played songs on his car stereo for food and sex. He's on top and he's never gonna stop LIVING THE DREAM!
