It was more than oregano heading out the door with the pizzas from a Domino’s Pizza store, police charge.

They arrested the store manager and an employee Saturday night and charged them with running a marijuana-to-go operation along with the pizza deliveries.

Domino’s manager Arthur Singleton, 26, of East Providence was charged with possessing marijuana with intent to deliver and distributing marijuana to a minor.

Store employee William G. Wood, 38, was charged with possessing marijuana.

The investigation began two months ago when an informant told Detective Raymond Falcoa about alleged marijuana trafficking at the store. Police became suspicious when they noticed numerous people go into the store but come out without pizza, Detective Terrence Mullen said.

“Falcoa received information that you could order a pizza and marijuana and they would put the marijuana inside the box along with the pizza,” Mullen said. “They also would deliver.”
