There was meth-od to this Florida man’s madness.
Jason Hardy will spend 10 years in prison after getting caught trying to mail meth to himself.
He pleaded guilty and received his sentence Monday, the Justice Department said in a press release.
Hardy put his real Florida address on the package and used his real name, real phone number and real email address in conversations with the U.S. Postal Service, the feds said.
According to investigators, Hardy was plotting to send 18 pounds of meth from California to Florida, and he even flew out to the West Coast to coordinate delivery.
Hardy put the meth in a package and listed his home Florida address as the return address, the feds said. Authorities were alerted to the suspicious item, searched it on July 19, 2020, and found the drugs inside.
On July 22, 2020, Hardy “called to inquire about the status of the package. He identified himself by his first name and provided his true phone number and email address,” the Justice Department said.
Hardy pleaded guilty in January 2021 to conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine.
The stupidity is strong with this one.
