  • A New Jersey Uber Eats driver detected a strong marijuana odor while delivering what was supposed to be a burrito meal from Lindenwold to Glassboro.
  • Upon inspection by Washington Township police, the burrito was found to contain over an ounce of raw marijuana, along with a bottle of water and a box of soup.
  • The marijuana was wrapped in aluminum foil and disguised as part of the food delivery, raising suspicions about the use of Uber's package delivery option for illegal purposes.
