Volunteers sorting through a collection bin found a 2-pound bag of marijuana worth about $8,000, according to the Boulder Police blotter.
Sarah Huntley, spokesperson for the Boulder Police Department, said the police plan to destroy all the marijuana.
�The bag has a street value of about $8,000,� Huntley said. �Our plan is to destroy it, which is our policy with all drugs.�
Huntley said the bag was found outside of Barnes & Noble at 2915 Pearl Street� in a collection bin accepting clothing donations. Volunteers turned the bag over to the police at 12:15 p.m. Thursday.
Huntley said no evidence accompanied the bag of marijuana.
�Nothing else was left with it or left in the bag,� Huntley said. �At this point, it�s just a closed incident. We have no way of knowing who is involved.�
Huntley said the police cannot yet determine if the incident is part of a drug deal.
�With no identifying information, we can only speculate,� Huntley said.
