A Connecticut man, who was charged for having three pounds of a powerful hallucinogenic drug to the office of an international charity ‘Save The Children” has pleaded not guilty.

According to reports, 33-year-old Giraud Dickson was freed on $50,000 bail after entering his plea on Tuesday to charges including the illegal distribution of narcotics.

Neither Dickson, nor his lawyer commented as they left the Main Street courtroom.

Dickson had been working for a courier service used by the charity.

Police said that they reported to the charity’s world headquarters on Kings Highway for a suspicious package.

Save The Children’s employees said that they received a parcel in the mail addressed to the organization, in which they found a large quantity of white powder in a vacuum sealed container.

The Fire Department dispatches its hazardous equipments unit that tested the powder and determined it to be 3 pounds of Phencyclidine also know as angel dust, a powerful hallucinogen.

Police then traced the return address on the package to a consignment shop in San Diego.

Employees at the Mailroom said that Dickson had stopped into the Mailroom many times apparently looking for something. But he left as soon as the workers questioned him.

In a sting operation conducted by police, officers planted an empty box, identical to the one that was delivered in the Mailroom and then they waited.

After a short time they saw Dickson walk into the Mailroom, and grab the planted box and leave with it hidden under his clothing. He was then arrested by the police.

During interrogation Dickson denied knowing what was in the box and claimed that he had picked it by mistake.
