ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) — WFXR News is uncovering new details after several packages containing drugs were discovered at a Roanoke United States Postal Service (USPS) facility in February.

Court records indicate that throughout the month, three packages were allegedly seized from the USPS Processing and Distribution Center on Rutherford Avenue NE. The first package was seized from the facility during a search warrant on Feb. 5.

Documents revealed that the envelope was shipped from Los Angeles, California, and was supposed to be delivered to a home in the 100 block of Summerleaf Trail in Bristol, Virginia. The package allegedly contained over 120 grams of methamphetamine.

After searching the postal business records, investigators learned that between June 6, 2023, and Jan. 22, 2024, about 24 packages were mailed from California and delivered to the home in Bristol.

As the investigation continued, Captain Duty with the Bristol Police Department told WFXR that on Feb. 5, officers served a warrant at Katrina Stout’s home on Summerleaf Drive. She was arrested and charged with one count of possession with the intent to distribute over 100 grams of methamphetamine.

Two days later, on Feb. 7, the United States Postal inspectors served a second search warrant at the USPS facility and allegedly discovered a second package with about 9.2 lbs of psilocybin mushrooms.

Court documents show that the package was shipped from Las Vagas, Nevada on Jan. 30 with a delivery address to a home in Lovingston, Virginia. However, the package was intercepted and investigators learned that 18 packages were sent to the Lovingston address from West Covina, California.

Authorities then seized a third package on Feb. 14, that allegedly contained 6,543 grams of THC oil (Vape Cartridges). Documents show the package was allegedly sent from Venice, California to Buchanan, Virginia. The warrants also revealed that at least 10 packages were allegedly mailed from California to the Buchanan address.

Currently, it is unknown if all three packages were connected and how many packages delivered in the past contained drugs.
