By Adina Genn

A Brooklyn man – the subject of “numerous suspicious person reports” – who allegedly had a package filled with marijuana shipped to him at a random home on Long Island was arrested Saturday night, authorities said.

Nassau Police say a witness spotted Bryan Scott, 30, multiple times on Saturday at the same Carson Street address in Bethpage attempting to recover a package in his name shipped to an address on that street. He has also been seen removing delivered packages that were left at the address in the past, police said.

The package taken in by the homeowner was given to detectives and contained approximately 15 pounds of marijuana, police said.

Scott, of Foster Avenue, was placed under arrest at the scene at 7:54 p.m. without incident, according to police.

He is charged with first-degree criminal possession of marijuana, and was scheduled to be arraigned in First District Court in Hempstead on Sunday.
