Marijuana drop goes wrong, leaving dog homeless and family...

One Arizona family has quite the story to tell at Thanksgiving.

Just after midnight last night, a nearly 30-pound bundle of marijuana packaged in brown and black tape crashed through the roof of the Donnelly family’s Nogales carport, located near the Mexican border, in the middle of the night. The family heard the noise but thought it was just thunder and went back to bed.

When they woke up, however, they found the package on an empty dog crate in their carport.

The street value of that accidental drop: about $10,000.

The Donnellys will foot the bill for the $500 carport repairs and finding a new home for their German Shepherd, Hulk.

Police say the weed, likely intended for smuggling, was accidentally dropped by a light aircraft over the residence instead of a deserted area.
