Authorities in Louisiana have arrested a man who they say accidentally texted a deputy to arrange a drug sale.

Assumption Parish Sheriff Leland Falcon tells local media the deputy received the misdirected text message one Friday night, right around “party time,” from 39-year-old Dwayne Paul Herbert of Pierre Part, arranging to deliver some crystal methamphetamine (meth). The surprised officer agreed, then mobilized the Narcotics Division.

The sheriff says Herbert showed up carrying crystal meth and two firearms and was even more surprised. Herbert now faces charges of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, possession of a firearm in the presence of a controlled substance and two counts of resisting an officer.

It’s unclear if Herbert has an attorney.


The Butt-Dialing Blues

A Tennessee man’s butt-dial to 911 landed him in jail after police say they heard him talking about getting high and going to a drug dealer’s house.

Grant O’Connor, 25, was allegedly heard talking about “pleasure shivers” and “tiny little pins” in his body after mistakenly calling police on his cell phone one Friday evening, WKRN reported.

The Mt. Pleasant dispatcher stayed on the line, listening to his bungling call, before being able to trace it to a Mexican restaurant.

When a responding officer arrived, O’Connor and an unidentified woman were seen pulling out of the parking lot, but had a taillight out on her vehicle.

That officer used that opportunity to stop their car. Inside, they reported seeing a small bag of marijuana and drug paraphernalia underneath the passenger seat.

“Really bad luck. And also some really good police work,” Mt. Pleasant Police Chief Michael Hay summed up the arrest to WKRN.

O’Connor, who didn’t realize he called police until informed by a cop, was charged with possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia.
