If my neighbor accidentally gets my FedEx or UPS package, the worst that could happen is they find out about my pedestrian reading tastes or that I might order too many video games. Then again, no one is shipping me parcels full of illegal drugs.

Of course, neither was the Houston-area resident who notified police after FedEx mis-delivered a package containing cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin that was intended for a nearby address.

Police tracked down the rightful recipients of the parcel and found a trio of adults with around $100,000 worth of drugs (including marijuana, prescription painkillers, cocaine, morphine, LSD, hash, steroids, black tar heroin, codeine, and drugs normally prescribed to cancer patients), a variety of weapons and thousands of dollars in cash.

Oh, and a 5-year-old who slept in the room next to where its mom smoked meth, reports the Houston Chronicle.

While FedEx dumb-lucked into aiding law enforcement in this case, the company is currently in hot water with the federal government for its alleged involvement with illegal drug shipments.

In July, a federal grand jury indicted FedEx on multiple charges, including Conspiracy to Distribute Controlled Substances, Distribution of Controlled Substances, Conspiracy to Distribute Misbranded Drugs and Misbranding Drugs, because it allegedly turned a blind eye to shipments from operators of illegal pharmacies.

The shipping company denies any wrongdoing.
