Joo Rang Hong, 28, a native of South Korea, was arrested in Moorhead Thursday after eluding police for nearly 3 years. He is accused of selling drugs that were shipped from California in Moorhead.

Court records revealed that in February 2020, the US Postal Inspector’s Office flagged a package and alerted police after a K-9 picked up a drug scent. The package was addressed to Hong, who resided in the 900 block of 17th Street S. The postal inspector investigated the package after obtaining a warrant and found about 2 kilograms of marijuana. Two other packages addressed to Hong were also searched where approximately another 3 kilograms were found for a total of about 11 pounds of marijuana.
