Authorities in North Carolina arrested a woman whose wrong-number text about a drug deal was received by a sheriff's deputy. The McDowell County Sheriff's Office said Deputy P.V. Alkire received a text message Thursday night from a number he didn't recognize from a sender who identified herself as "Amy" and asked if he wanted "business tonight." The sender said she was selling "bones," a street term for Xanax, and Alkire arranged to purchase 10 of the pills at a truck stop. Amy Leigh Brown, 35, was arrested and charged with intent to sell and deliver a Schedule IV controlled substance. Investigators said Brown was carrying 25 generic Xanax pills.
Police in New Mexico arrested a woman accused of posting a Craigslist ad saying she was looking to purchase marijuana. Roswell Police said Anamicka Dave, 29, put a posting on the website explaining she was new to the area and looking to purchase marijuana. A shocked Sgt. Ty Sharpe called his boss to "make sure it wasn't one of our guys trying to do a reverse sting." Police said they communicated with Dave via text messages while posing as a potential seller. Officers arranged to meet Dave in a parking lot and she was placed under arrest. Dave was booked on a charge of criminal solicitation.
