Drug dealer busted after wrong-number text

MUSKEGO, Wis., Dec. 7 (UPI) -- Wisconsin State Police said a man was arrested after a wrong-number text about hashish for sale went to a trooper's 10-year-old grandson.

Sgt. Nate Clarke said he received a call Sunday night from a colleague who told him his 10-year-old grandson had received a wrong-number text offering to sell him hash, and troopers used the phone to set up a buy, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Tuesday.

Clarke said troopers arranged to buy 5 grams of hash for $15 per gram and troopers watched as the man showed up at the arranged Muskego-area location for the 10 p.m. buy and left after no buyers showed up to purchase his wares.

Troopers followed the man back to his residence, where troopers found the 5 grams of hash in his car and another 1.5 grams of hash in a pill bottle. They said the search of his car and residence also turned up marijuana paraphernalia.

Clarke said the man was arrested and prosecutors are weighing charges including felony possession with intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia.
