MARIJUANA SEARCH WARRANT 10/19/22

Josephine Co. Sheriff's Office

On October 19, 2022, the Josephine Marijuana Enforcement Team (JMET) received information from a local trucking company that two individuals were attempting to ship approximately 600 pounds of marijuana to Illinois. After the trucking company realized what the two individuals were attempting to do, the driver unloaded his truck and advised the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office where the pallet of marijuana and the two responsible for the shipment could be found. 

JMET responded to the location and contacted Moaied Maali and Arfat Najjar.  Upon investigation, detectives located and seized the 600 pounds of marijuana and $25,000 in cash that was later seized by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

Moaied Maali and Arfat Najjar were arrested and lodged in the Josephine County Jail for Unlawful Delivery of Marijuana and Unlawful Possession of Marijuana.

At the time of this press release the investigation is ongoing and no further details are being released.
