A Salina man is arrested after a large amount of a synthetic drug is discovered in a package bound for Florida.

Lt. Jim Norton, Commander of the I 135 / I 70 Drug Task Force, says that an employee at UPS contacted authorities Wednesday evening after discovering a suspicious package. According to Norton, the package was not properly sealed and baggies of a green substance were visible.

Officers executed a search warrant and opened the package. They found 100 baggies containing a substance which they believe is an illegal synthetic drug sold as "potpourri". Also in the package were numerous empty baggies, digital scales, and a spoon.

Norton says that he believes that it is the illegal drug UR-144 in the baggies. The substance has been sent to a KBI lab for positive identification.

Officers arrested Somchai Ditsunon of Salina. He could face numerous felony drug charges.

Norton adds that this is the third time within the last year that Ditsunon has been arrested in connection with the distribution of potpourri.

Whocares I cannot believe the cops haven't arrested you yet. That Walmart video of you and your girls stealing the TV's is pretty neat and you do look good on camera.

Getting girls and having to pay for them like you do at the truck stop is nothing to brag about.

GETALIFE.... you need what your name is.... a life. Evidently, you don't have one if you spend all your time on here whining about what other people are saying. If you don't like what your reading, then feel free to join your buddy iamgonna at the local park men's room. I am sure business for him is booming, wouldn't you like a little piece(figurativly speaking), of his business? Earn a little "extra cash" under the table?
