Package of marijuana sent to Assembly Hall

“Relax, it’s FedEx,” the shipping company says in its ads. But on Friday morning, Assembly Hall received a suspicious package that led to a much different response.\nA package addressed to “J. Smith” at 1001 E. 17th St., the address of Assembly Hall, was returned to the mail room at the athletics facility after recipients became suspicious of its contents, said IU Police Department Sgt. Craig Munroe. \nIUPD officers found inside the package a T-shirt with a Nike “B-town” logo on it and a container filled with a “small amount” of a leafy substance, said Munroe, who read from a police report.\nAccording to the police report, IUPD tested the “leafy substance” and discovered THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, the hallucinatory chemical and most active ingredient found in marijuana.\nFedEx delivered and billed the package to Assembly Hall. The return address on the package was fake, Munroe said.\nFedEx spokeswoman Denise Lauer said the company works closely with law enforcement when suspicious packages are discovered.\n“We have a very important relationship with law officials wherever we operate,” Lauer said. “We do not tolerate the illegal use of our network.”\nMunroe said the contents of the package have been placed in an IUPD evidence room while they continue the investigation.
