Amarillo Man Arrested For Shipping Meth

There have been a lot of creative ways people have tried to ship drugs to and from Amarillo. One favorite seems to be throwing it on a Greyhound bus and coming into the Amarillo bus station with it.

Other methods usually involve cars or finding mules and different ways to transport them. However, this may be one of the stranger ones I've seen, and I'm blown away that someone actually tried to ship it in this manner.

What Was Being Shipped

Well, to put it simply, it was meth. A very large amount of meth to be honest. 19.5 pounds of it to be exact.

Maybe it was a little Thanksgiving surprise, but police found the package on November 25, 2024, and are just now locking down who it came from.

The Suspect Is From Amarillo

On May 12, Jeremiah Ezekiel Macias was indicted in Maricopa County, Arizona, where the package originated. Nine days later, on May 21, Macias was arrested at home here in Amarillo and charged with conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine.

Macias has admitted to sending the package full of meth. It was addressed to a woman in Amarillo, but there is no word on who that woman is and her relation to Macias.

How Did He Try To Ship It

None other than UPS. "What can brown do for you?" Well, apparently they can't safely ship meth, and that's a good thing. Police found the suspicious package at a UPS Store in Phoenix.

They brought in a drug-sniffing dog, and wouldn't you know it, they were alerted to the presence of drugs by the K9. They also found Macias' fingerprints on the box, which gave them an idea of who was responsible for the ill-fated attempt.
