A man walking in the Florida Keys this week stumbled upon a plastic container with plenty of marijuana inside of it, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
The man, who was not named, spotted the weed around 4:30 p.m. Monday in the mangroves on what appears to be an abandoned lot on Sugarloaf Key in the Lower Keys, said sheriff’s office spokeswoman Becky Herrin.
After he called the sheriff’s office, deputies arrived to find a black plastic container with a yellow lid.
