MCDONOUGH, Ga. (FOX 5) – Buckets and buckets of marijuana were sent to an unsuspecting woman.  About 250 pounds of pot were sent from Phoenix via Fed Ex to the woman's family-owned restaurant in McDonough.

A dozen five gallon buckets of marijuana were recovered by authorities when the drugs were shipped via Fed Ex to the D and N Seafood and Wings restaurant in McDonough Tuesday afternoon.

"I looked down in it I thought it was like a plant because it was very green," said restaurant owner Nicole Williams.

Williams and her husband called police. Authorities said the pot was meant for the previous business at the location.

Agent Chad Rosborough with the Flint Circuit Task Force, a collection of local police working drug cases, said several suspects were already identified in this case.

Investigators said within the last three months, about 100 of the boxes filled with marijuana have been shipped to the McDonough area, and all of them have been shipped from Phoenix.

Police said some of the marijuana was sent to another private shipping business and a home.

"High end, it could be upwards to a million dollars of marijuana," said Rosborough.

Williams said the day the pot was delivered, two men in a white Suburban SUV with Arizona license plates stopped in trying to sell them cleaning supplies.

"The tags said Arizona.  I wish I had gotten a tag number but unfortunately I didn't," said Derrick Williams.

A Fed Ex spokesperson in Nashville wouldn't discuss the specifics of the case.  The spokesperson said Fed Ex was working with local and federal agents to find and arrest the people involved in Phoenix and the McDonough area.
