MARIETTA, Ohio (WSAZ) – ‘Tis the season for giving and, as donations pour into thrift stores, a local Goodwill received a $1,500 donation, according to information from out sister station WTAP.
The only problem is it's illegal in stores and on the street.
On Friday, employees at a Goodwill store in Marietta opened a donated water jug and found about found four bags of marijuana that together equal about a pound. Police say it has a street value of around $1,500 but because this was an anonymous donation, there's really no way of telling who or where the pot came from
"If anybody would like to come in and claim this "cooler," which is probably an antique, we would love to have them come in and we'll be more than happy to try and get that cooler returned to them," Marietta Police Capt. Jeff Waite said.
Police say the marijuana appears to be more than a year old and probably was donated by accident.
