🇺🇸 Huntington, Fairfax County, Virginia · Virginia, United States
A 28-year-old man was arrested after Fairfax County police stopped his car as he
drove into the county from out of state on Tuesday night.[1]Detectives said
they found 63 pounds (about 28.6 kg) of marijuana, 1,000 tins of THC gummies,
270 small jars of THC wax of 2.5 grams each, 800 more grams of THC wax, 500 THC
vape cartridges or pens and 300 THC-infused drinks in the vehicle.[1]A search
of his home then yielded 13 pounds (about 5.9 kg) of marijuana flower, 800 more
tins of THC gummies, 50 jars of 2.5 grams of wax, 100 THC vape cartridges and
$60,000 in cash.[1]
Police said the drugs were worth more than $500,000 and called it the largest
seizure in the county in recent history.[2]Police said the previous
comparable seizure in the county was $400,000 worth of drugs in 2022.[2]
Lieutenant Anne Rizza said THC products are packaged to look like candy and,
because they are unregulated, vary in potency.[2]
The driver was Kyle Webb of Alexandria, and the home searched was in Huntington,
police said; they first gave his age as 28 and later corrected it to 27.[2]NBC4 Washington reported the same three charges and said the man was being held
on a secure bond.[3]

Police first gave the man's age as 28 and later corrected it to 27, according to Northern Virginia Magazine.
The $500,000 value is police's estimate for the whole load of marijuana and THC products, not a figure for the cannabis weight alone.
No figure is given for the combined weight of the THC gummies, wax, vape cartridges and drinks, so the kg figure covers only marijuana flower.
The sources do not say from which state the drugs were brought, nor give a court date or later outcome of the charges.
The 7News captions name only the accused, not which items the three police handout photos show.
