Federal authorities say they used their positions at the West Market Post Office to funnel more than 100 kilos of marijuana to three separate drug organizations.
" 'I have your boxes,' and they communicated when they would meet and when they would deliver the marijuana packages to the drug organizations," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Anita Eve.
