This was one bag of cat chow that really delivered.
Authorities busted a top Florida real estate agent after discovering that he was attempting to smuggle $30,000 worth of crystal methamphetamine - in a bag of cat food.
Robert Morris, 48, was charged with drug trafficking and resisting arrest Wednesday after he claimed a FedEx box stuffed with about 260 grams of the illegal drug in a package of Meow Mix.
The parcel was sent from Arizona to a title insurance company in Leesburg, Fla. It was addressed to a client who lives in Washington, but when contacted, the recipient said he wasn't expecting any deliveries.
Police were contacted, and upon inspecting the package found the meth, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
During the investigation, Morris contacted the company to ask about the delivery. Undercover detectives then arranged a meeting with the Eustis resident in the parking lot of a restaurant.
Morris accepted the package and was taken into custody following a brief struggle.
"This amount is most definitely a distributor amount," Lt. John Herrell of the Lake County Sheriff's Office told the newspaper.
Morris is a graduate of Brigham Young University and father of four, according to an online biography.
His bond was set at $500,500.
