A TCBY in Matthews received an interesting delivery last week.

An employee at the frozen yogurt shop found marijuana at the store — $225,000 worth of it.

An employee found the drugs in a white 5-gallon bucket inside a cardboard box on Dec. 4, according to a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police report.

The marijuana had been shipped to the shop on Weddington Road.

It wasn’t clear who sent the marijuana.
