Bowen and Bowen Deliver Truck Driver Fired After being Busted with Weed

Melvin Velasquez

Bowen and Bowen Limited has fired three employees but not due to the COVID 19. It is because police in Pomona Village found seventy-three point eight grams of marijuana in the delivery truck. It was on May fifteenth that Melvin Velasquez was intercepted by police officers who informed him and his co-workers that a search would be conducted on the vehicle. Prior to the search, police asked Velasquez if he had anything to declare, Velasquez reportedly wasted no time in retrieving the cannabis for the officers. He pleaded guilty to drug trafficking and the company says that it is managing the situation internally through dismissal of the delivery truck driver and the termination of the other two members of the truck crew.
