Authorities: Raid nets potent pot

Holy hydro, Batman!

A 30-year-old Queen Village man was busted by cops in Lower Providence Township last week for selling some extremely potent - and expensive - marijuana, authorities said yesterday.

David Pellicott, a resident of 3rd Street near Monroe, was arrested by undercover narcotics cops who had been informed that Pellicott was selling 10 pounds of hydroponically grown marijuana for $50,000, according to officials from the Montgomery County District Attorney's office.

Cops searched Pellicott's Queen Village apartment and recovered $247,450 in cash. Officialls said the marijuana Pellicott sold was grown in Canada and contained an especially potent mix of tetrahydrocannabinol - THC - producing a powerful hallucinogenic effect.

Pellicott is being held on $5 million bail and is due in court for a preliminary hearing on Thursday.
