Chicago police: 40 pounds of marijuana delivered to office

CHICAGO -- A clerk in the Cook County public defender's office has been arrested for accepting a nearly 40-pound package of marijuana brought to her office.

Officials say the package was delivered by a Chicago police officer posing as a UPS worker.

Police say they arrested 40-year-old Lamour Holloway on Tuesday as she put the package in a vehicle outside her workplace.

The marijuana was valued at more than $100,000. As a clerk, Holloway earns $34,000 a year.

Records indicate she's been employed by the public defender's office for 10 years.
