Police caught wind of a shipment that would be coming to Lee’s parent’s home.
They worked with postal inspectors, and a drug dog indicated the package had illegal drugs inside.
A postal employee delivered the package, and police observed the suspect taking the package inside, then driving off.
They stopped him, and searched the car and home and found the drugs, nearly 6 pounds of pot, and over $1,300 cash.
Lee also gave consent to check his primary residence where they found cash, a money counting machine, documents and a drug ledger.
Lee is scheduled to be in court tomorrow on charges of possession with intent to distribute and money laundering.
