Mabel Howard was supposed to get videos of ''Touched by an Angel'' for her 88th birthday. Instead she got a package of marijuana, and someone in Florida may feel the long arm of the law. 
State police say it appears the three tapes headed to Howard were switched with the drugs at a Davies, Fla., package center. Police did not say how much marijuana was in the package. Howard opened the package Saturday along with other presents after returning home from dinner with her nephew, Burton McKay, and his wife. McKay said he received the package at his business and was surprised it didn't seem large enough to contain the three tapes he and his sister had decided to give their aunt. McKay said it took a while to realize what the package contained. The drugs were mixed with coffee grounds, a tactic to disguise the marijuana's scent. ''I hadn't seen marijuana since the '70's,'' he said. ''I thought it was some kind of incense.'' State police said an investigation was continuing.
