Court records say the pair were nabbed with 20 pounds of pot.

Police arrested two Allentown men Friday after one allegedly mailed more than 20 pounds of marijuana to the other.

On Wednesday, a United States postal inspector executed a federal search warrant on a mail parcel in Philadelphia addressed to John Hall at 528 Wyoming St. in Allentown. Inside the parcel, the inspector found the marijuana, according to court records.

On Friday, a postal inspector delivered the marijuana, re-packaged in the original parcel, to Hall's Wyoming Street address. No one was home but while the inspector was there, Jonathan Reilly, 25, of 2618 Brentwood Drive, arrived in a black truck with Hall in the passenger seat, court records said. Hall identified himself to the inspector, signed for the package and placed it in the truck bed, records said. According to court records, Reilly mailed the package to Hall.

When Hall got into the truck, Allentown police and federal agents arrested both men.

A subsequent search warrant was served at Reilly's residence and police found a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia including a digital scale, plastic bags and a smoking pipe, according to court documents.

Police charged both men with possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and criminal conspiracy with the intent to deliver a controlled substance. District Justice Joan Snyder arraigned both men and set bail at $20,000 each.

Reilly also was charged with possession of a small amount of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia . Snyder set bail at $500 on those charges.

Hearings on all charges are scheduled for Wednesday at Lehigh County Courthouse.
