Grinnell residents busted for pot possession

Most everybody knows it’s illegal to grow or smoke pot. It’s also illegal to have it mailed to you.Two Grinnell residents were arrested Tuesday after trying to pick up a package at the post office — a package filled with an unspecified amount of marijuana. Postal officials thought the package was suspicious and called the Poweshiek County Sheriff’s office, which sent a deputy and a drug-sniffing dog. After a surveillance operation, 24-year-old Jon Seyler Petit is charged with possession with intent to deliver and failure to affix a drug tax stamp, while 22-year-old Lindsay Erin White is charged with possession. More charges may be pending.
