SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- A Salt Lake City detective helped bust a narcotics dealer when he intercepted a text message attempting to make a sale, officials said.
When Dan Wendelboth received an unusual text message, reading, "I have 10 Lortab 7.5," he decided to play along with the conversation to help police nail the suspected dealer, KSL-TV, Salt Lake City, reports.
Wendelboth reportedly replied to the text with questions asking for a price, time and place at which he could buy the prescription pain medication.
Detectives were reportedly present and ready to make arrests when Carrie Brooker, 27, Christine Rollins, 42, and one other female arrived at the 8 p.m. Tuesday meeting in a Wal-Mart parking lot, police said.
Police said they busted one woman for carrying Lortab capsules and arrested the other of prescription forgery.
A 2-year-old, who is now in protective custody, was with one of the women.
