Man flies from San Francisco to Boston with 100 pounds of marijuana in his luggage, police say
Police say a California man flew from San Francisco to Boston’s Logan Airport on Wednesday evening with approximately 100 pounds of marijuana in his suitcases.
The Logan Airport Task Force, comprised of Massachusetts state troopers and DEA agents, were waiting for 31-year-old Trang Pham when his Delta flight landed at about 5 p.m. The Task Force approached Pham as he exited the terminal and began questioning him, according to the Massachusetts State Police.
State Trooper Eric Pecjo and his detection dog, Zeva, responded to assist with the investigation. The Task Force then received a warrant from East Boston court authorizing them to search two suitcases checked onto the flight by Pham. Police said they found the marijuana packaged in heat sealed plastic wrap in his luggage.
Pham was arrested with trafficking in marijuana and is expected to be arraigned Thursday in East Boston District Court.
