HIGHLAND, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Two Ulster County men have landed behind bars after receiving a special package at their local post office.
According to police in Lloyd, the two men were arrested after picking up a 10-pound package of marijuana from the Highland Post Office.
Police said they were alerted to a suspicious package at the post office and brought in their drug-sniffing dog, Triton, who signaled there were drugs in the parcel.
The county drug task force waited until the package was picked up by two men, then busted them Saturday on Route 9W near the post office.
Rodney Lamb, 55, of Highland and 46-year-old Robert Lindsay, of Montgomery, now face drug-related charges.
They were being held in the county jail pending arraignment.
