Sayre Borough Police arrested Lea Pudiak, 26, of Sayre, and Alexandra Goodrich, 28, of San Diego, after a package of about 100 THC vape cartridges was delivered to an employee at a local business.[1] Police alleged that the women had shipped THC vape cartridges from San Diego to Sayre multiple times.[1] The restaurant owner called police because he was upset that Pudiak had the package delivered to his business address, according to the complaint.[1] Affidavits listed the cartridges at a street value of $50,000 because of the variety of strains.[1]
Police later went to Pudiak’s apartment to meet with her and Goodrich.[1] Pudiak reportedly told police she did not know why officers were there despite an officer telling her that a box of drugs had been delivered to the address.[1] As Pudiak was being taken into custody, Goodrich told police that she was from California and that her parents lived in Owego.[1] The complaints said UPS could not deliver to her parents’ address, so Goodrich bought the vapes legally in bulk in California and shipped them to Pudiak.[1] The affidavits said Goodrich allegedly paid Pudiak a small fee through CashApp to collect the vapes while Goodrich used one every day for personal use.[1]
Goodrich told police that people in California approached her and paid her in cash to deliver “stuff” to other people.[1] When asked specifically about previous THC-vape shipments to Pudiak, Goodrich declined to give further information and said she needed a lawyer.[1] Pudiak and Goodrich were each charged with one count of manufacture of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and criminal use of a communication facility.[1]
