Man arrested after texting narcotics officer instead of drug dealer, EVEN though his downfall came from the dubious activity of trying to buy drugs off a stranger he met at 7-Eleven, you kind of feel bad for William Lamberson.
The 29-year-old from Port St Lucie thought he had texted a drug dealer he’d met at a convenience store to ask for some weed.
And while his message was received by someone who knows a lot about illegal drugs, it was not the drug dealer Mr Lamberson was trying to reach.
In the midst of his excitement, Mr Lamberson entered the wrong phone number and sent the message to the captain of the Martin County Sheriff’s Narcotics Unit.
Posting the text message exchange on its Facebook page, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office showcased “when texting goes wrong”.
The images showed Mr Lamberson starting the exchange by saying the pair had met earlier before asking for some “green”.
Realising the unlikely situation he found himself in, the police officer decided to pose as a drug dealer.
Through a series of exchanges, the narcotics officer flipped the tables and convinced Mr Lamberson to supply him with some cocaine.
The would-be drug dealer confirmed it was easy to score coke and he had connections to provide quality product that had not been “stepped on”.
After arriving to complete the transaction, Mr Lamberson’s new friend from 7-Eleven was nowhere in sight.
However, there was a number of Martin County Sheriff’s narcotics detectives waiting to greet him.
Mr Lamberson was subsequently arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance with the intent to sell.
