The arrest occurred after police conducted surveillance of the West Dennis Post Office and observed Mr. Sterling enter the post office and retrieve a package from the postal clerk which was believed to contain illegal drugs.

30k seems a bit off. If he was selling a quarter of an ounce for 40 then he'd be making 25,600 off 10 pounds. However, if he was selling an 8th of an ounce for 30 then he'd net 38,400. I'll admit those prices are from a good decade ago, lol, but I imagine if anything, they've probably gone up.
