Nicholson reportedly picked up several packages on marijuana’s biggest day, while officers laid waiting.

The 34-year-old allegedly tossed the packages sky-high as law enforcement closed in.

A Yalobusha County Sheriff’s Narcotics Investigator was tipped by the Postal Inspector the day before, after a damaged package seemed to contain marijuana.

A heap of high-grade marijuana and around 100 containers of THC Oil was confiscated, now Nicholson faces a trafficking charge.

Sheriff Lance Humpreys also noted, Nicholson has two outstanding indictments in Yalobusha County dating back to 2011.

The Water Valley man had most recently been living in Utah.
