Oregon State Police stopped a cargo van on Brownsboro Highway on Friday 6 November 2026.[1] The driver was cooperative and provided a manifest saying the cargo he picked up was from 1635 Brownsboro Highway and was being delivered to a Brooklyn, New York address.[1][2] He confirmed he had picked up about 700 pounds of hemp products from a man named Sunny, later identified as 38-year-old Saibya Walter Mims.[1] An Eagle Point man was arrested on several charges after troopers found the marijuana in the van.[1]
The driver consented to a search of the van, and troopers reported an overwhelming smell of marijuana when they opened it.[1][2] In total they found about 25 triple-sealed bags of marijuana and around 910 pounds of pot, about 412.8 kilograms.[3] Police said the manifest claimed the product was hemp with no THC, packed in Home Depot cardboard boxes and marked Gas Head.[1] The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office assisted in the investigation and reported THC levels of nearly 19 percent, which made the load illegal to ship out of state.[1]
Police served a search warrant at Mims’s property and business, Ganesh Management Group, and found thousands of pounds of marijuana in various forms of processing.[1] Mims was arraigned on Thursday on two counts of unlawful possession of marijuana, two counts of unlawful delivery of marijuana, two counts of unlawful import or export of marijuana and one count of unlawful manufacture of marijuana, all felonies.[1] Court records showed he was released from custody with a future court date of 10 December.[1] The judge ordered him to undergo pretrial monitoring and to stay away from alcohol, non-prescribed controlled substances or cannabis.[1]
