- Jose Eugenio Reyna, 33, made his first court appearance at 11 p.m. Monday in front of Judge Michael J. Thompson facing a felony charge of fifth-degree possession of a controlled substance.
Reyna was arrested around 7:15 p.m. June 2 after picking up a package from the UPS terminal in Willmar containing nearly 11 pounds of marijuana.
UPS employees contacted the police department after they opened a package they believed contained marijuana. The package was delivered earlier in the day on June 2, but the homeowners said that the package was addressed to someone who didn't live there. UPS then retrieved the package and opened it after returning to the terminal.
According to the complaint, the addressee later called and made an appointment with UPS to pick up the package from the terminal. Around 7:15 p.m. Reyna came to the terminal and picked up the package. Reyna was stopped by police officers while still in possession of the package.
According to the complaint the package contained several bundles of marijuana, totaling 10.95 pounds.
