Columbia man accused of having USPS deliver weed to his home

A Columbia man was arrested and charged Tuesday after he allegedly tried to have USPS deliver a package containing marijuana to his home.

Law enforcement officials were notified of a suspicious package being sent from California and delivered to a residence in the 1500 block of Rolling Rock Drive in Columbia. The names on the package were fictitious names, according to a probable cause statement.

Detectives saw Sean R. Boyd drive away from the residence and pulled him over because of a window tint violations, court documents said. Detectives smelled marijuana in the car, and after a search, they found 33 grams of marijuana.
