UPS worker sells stolen $160,000 for $20 worth of weed

A UPS worker is accused of stealing a package containing a $160,000 diamond, and trading the valuable jewel for $20 worth of marijuana, according to reports.

Walter Earl Morrison, 20, thought that the package he allegedly swiped while unloading cargo at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix contained cash, according to a probable cause statement obtained by The Smoking Gun.

Instead of containing cash, the package contained one pricey stone with a value of $160,000.

"Any single stone over $100,000 is an expensive stone," House of Diamonds owner Brent Taubman said when asked about pricey diamonds, according to ABC15 News.

Morrison allegedly traded the diamond for the drug, before being caught.

The stolen diamond was recovered and delivered to the intended customer, a UPS spokesperson said. Following the incident, UPS has fired Morrison.

Morrison was arrested Sept. 16 on a felony theft charge. He is scheduled for arraignment Oct. 1.
