FBI Investigates Fake Amazon Truck Used For Pot Scheme

An illegal marijuana grow operation is accused of using a vehicle disguised to look like an Amazon truck. The FBI arrested a man, Brandon Ye, accused of running the operation out of several metro locations.

Court documents said the owner of Arch Granite & Cabinetry is a black-market marijuana dealer. It also said he's using this facility as part of his marijuana distribution enterprise. 

The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and the FBI first started looking into Brandon Ye, last December. Court documents said his name is attached to houses in Oklahoma City, and after a search of one of his properties they determined these were stash houses.

Law enforcement officials found more than 60 pounds of packaged marijuana stored in black trash bags at his home near the Northwest Expressway. Officials believe these were the same bags taken out of an Amazon truck by several men earlier that week. 

Court documents said the truck, disguised as an Amazon delivery truck, was actually a van used to transport marijuana from marijuana grows. 

Agents also saw this van parked outside of Ye's countertop business, Arch Granite & Cabinetry, a place officials say they've been looking into a year before they learned about Ye. 

Court documents mentioned semi-trucks being pulled over out of state, traveling to places like Arkansas and Illinois, carrying thousands of pounds of marijuana. According to the complaint, there's surveillance footage of the semi-trucks making a stop at Arch Granite & Cabinetry.

Ye is facing a felony charge for drug conspiracy. News 9 reached out to his attorney, and he did not want to comment.
