Bizarre. Read the below part.

Why would the FedEx guy use some third-party homeowner's door step as a package drop? Why not hand it off directly to the accomplice? Weren't they losing packages, when the accomplice couldn't retrieve the package before the homeowner opened his door?

And, if the police knew this is how the scheme worked, why would they suspect the third-party homeowner of any involvement? If no suspicion, why the SWAT entry?

The only good thing is, they did the mayor this time. Who would be better-positioned to make heads roll?

BERWYN HEIGHTS, Md. - Mayor Cheye Calvo got home from work, saw a package addressed to his wife on the front porch and brought it inside, putting it on a table.

Suddenly, police with guns drawn kicked in the door and stormed in, shooting to death the couple's two dogs and seizing the unopened package.

In it were 32 pounds of marijuana. But the drugs evidently didn't belong to the couple.

Police say the couple appeared to be innocent victims of a scheme by two men to smuggle millions of dollars worth of marijuana by having it delivered to about a half-dozen unsuspecting recipients.

The two men under arrest include a FedEx deliveryman; investigators said the deliveryman would drop off a package outside a home, and the other man would come by a short time later and pick it up.
