Teenage Boy Dials Wrong Number, Tries To Sell Drugs To Cops. Oops.

After the call, Gulfport detective Matt Parks arranged to meet the teen in the parking lot of a school to buy an ounce of marijuana and some crack cocaine, according to a police report.

When the boy showed up Sunday, he was charged with possession of 18 grams of marijuana with intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school.

The 22-year-old driver of the car the boy was riding in was charged with a similar count and with for driving with a suspended license.

Parks’ phone number is unlisted, and there were no similar numbers found in the boy’s cell phone, police said.

Detectives said the boy, whose name was not released, likely dialed a random number looking for a customer.

Parks said Tuesday that the boy has been released.

JOKESTARTERS:

• The boy “likely dialed a random wrong number looking for a customer.” Now that’s some innovative, smart marketing for a drug dealer.
• This isn’t the first time this teenage boy has been in trouble with the law. Previously, he was busted after trying to sell beef to vegetarians (or other unlikely thing to other unlikely customers – you work it out).
• In a related development, Paris Hilton today used her one phone call from prison and mis-dialed. Instead of calling her Mommy, she reached Babba Wawa, who promptly hung up on her.
