A Sharon man has been arrested in a federal-local investigation of a package full of marijuana.

Michael R. Bruner, 27, of 301 Stambaugh Ave., Sharon, was arrested at 6 p.m. Tuesday in a parking lot in the 1600 block of North Hermitage Road, police said.

He is charged with possession of marijuana and possession with intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia and conspiracy to possess marijuana with intent to deliver.

Police gave this account:

A drug-sniffing dog at a Federal Express warehouse in Youngstown hit on a package that was found to contain about 5 pounds of marijuana.

The package was turned over to the federal Drug Enforcement Agency's Task Force Airport Interdiction Unit.

The package was to be delivered to Standard Stream Printing, 910 Robertson Road, Hermitage, which is owned by Bruner. A law enforcement official, under the guise of a Federal Express employee, contacted Bruner, and Bruner agreed to meet in the parking lot to receive the package.
