Suitcase Full Of Pot: Jimmie Medcalf, Charles Scott Arrested For Packing Quite The Stash

Cops Bust Duo That Packed Suitcase Full Of Pot

When police stopped two men near the Fourth Avenue Metra station in Naperville, Ill. Sunday, it wasn't exactly for a routine luggage check.

Jimmie L. Medcalf, 29, and Charles W. Scott, 42, both of Chicago, were arrested Sunday on charges of cannabis trafficking after police nabbed the pair transporting a suitcase full of medical grade marijuana, reports the Naperville Sun.

The contents of the suitcase were valued at nearly $60,000, according to CBS Chicago. The Sun said the pair was picked up after detectives received a tip from a law enforcement agency in California.

The operation, described in detail by the Sun, involved informants, a stakeout and a foot chase through the parking lot of the Metra station before both suspects were apprehended.

Medcalf was arrested first, at 2:37 p.m. according to Naperville Patch, with Scott arrested just two minutes later. Both men face charges of cannabis trafficking and manufacturing/delivery of cannabis and were taken to DuPage County Jail where they remain on $250,000 bail.
