Texting mistake lands would-be
drug buyer in jail
CHICAGO — Text messages about buying
drugs mistakenly sent to a Nebraska state
trooper led to the arrest of a 23-year-old
man on marijuana possession and other
drug charges, police said on Tuesday.
The Nebraska State Patrol said that one of
its troopers started getting text messages
last week from a person who was looking
to buy drugs. The trooper continued to
correspond through text messages until a
meeting place was set up.
The trooper, dressed in civilian clothes,
arrived at the agreed upon location and
arrested 23-year-old Aaron Sartin of
Kearney, Nebraska, police said.
He was charged with driving under the
influence of drugs, possession of less than
an ounce of marijuana, and possession of
drug paraphernalia. Additional charges
were pending.
