(NewsCore) - A teen from Helena, Mont., looking to buy marijuana accidentally sent a text message meant for a drug dealer to a sheriff, the Helena Independent Record reported Friday.
"Hey Dawg, do you have a $20 I can buy right now?" the message read.
Lewis and Clark County Sheriff Leo Dutton received the text last week and told the paper he initially thought it was a prank.
But when he played along, replying "How much we talking?" he soon discovered the message was sincere, if terribly unlucky.
Dutton, along with the Missouri River Drug Task Force, arranged for an undercover detective posing as the dealer to meet the teen at local business in downtown Helena last Wednesday night, according to the Independent Record.
When the detective spotted the teen with another adolescent male at their agreed meeting place, he called the boys over and showed them his badge.
Dutton told the paper the teens turned white and their knees began to wobble -- one of them even passed out when the group went outside to talk about the boys' failed attempt to buy drugs.
One of the teens' fathers had been with the boys at the meeting place. He was reportedly very upset with his son, but eager to cooperate, and no citations were issued.
"When the detective saw there were parents that wanted to be involved he took the right action and Im really proud of the deputy," Dutton told the Independent Record.
"Trying to buy drugs is a crime, but its probably worse that they had to face their parents."

So what was the parent's excuse for taking their kids to pick up drugs?Ludicrous gibs!

I'm assuming the kids didn't mention that part to the parent."Dr Dunn admitted that his research could also be interpreted as evidence that women are shallower than men. He said: "Let's face it - there's evidence to support it."

That's a great question; they should have charged them all. -

How much money/resources were spent by that sheriff's dept and the Missouri River Drug Task Force ( http://www.ci.helena.mt.us/departments/police-department/investigative-division/missouri-river-drug-task-force.html ) ...for a 20 dollar buy ( Not even sell...we are talking smallest of user here..not even a dealer ) ???
This is what they have confiscated since 1992

I think it'll be worth it for that town to have the kids running scared for a few months. I don't think there was really much cost involved, other than a small amount of the officer's time.Ludicrous gibs! -

Yeah, but to stumble on something like this is gold. I had some mistaken texts last year that related to an ongoing investigation with the local PD on a "suspicious" accident. I turned the texts in to the PD... they were thankful to have them, though I don't know that they ever did anything with them. Really, I only put two and two together because the texts were referencing a story I saw in the local paper.Ludicrous gibs! -
I wouldn't even serve a guy for $20. No need to take a risk unless I can get at least a couple hundred out the deal. I bet the parents smoke with the kids.Shoot the jumper.....................BALLIN.............!!!!!
