A California man has been sentenced to almost four years in prison for drug trafficking after a drug-sniffing dog led investigators to a bundle of mailed cash that smelled of marijuana.
Lanny Welch, the U.S. attorney for Kansas, said Tuesday that 54-year-old Leon B. Livingston of San Diego was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess and distribute more than 100 kilograms of marijuana.
Prosecutors said a drug-sniffing dog alerted postal inspectors to a package mailed to Livingston from Mark McPherson in Olathe. The package contained $30,000 in cash.
Investigators searched Livingston's home in San Diego and found marijuana plants.
McPherson was sentenced to about eight years. Other members of the conspiracy have been sentenced or are awaiting sentencing next month.
