MAGNUM, Okla., March 18 (UPI) -- Police in Oklahoma said a woman was arrested for drug possession after she mistakenly text messaged a Drug Task Force agent about her stash.

A police report said Chris Counts, an agent with the District III Drug Task Force, received an apparent wrong-number text message from Mindy Lynn Neugebauer, 26, of Magnum, Okla., offering a "hit of this stuff," referring to illegal drugs, the Altus (Okla.) Times reported Thursday.

Counts sent a reply asking for an address and Neugebauer obliged, police said.

Officers arrived at her home and Neugebauer told then she thought the text had been sent to a friend. She told them the message referred to marijuana she had rolled in a cigar paper and that represented all the illegal drugs she had in the home. However, police said they found a substance during a search of the home that tested positive for cocaine.

Neugebauer was arrested on felony charges of possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of a controlled drug with the intent to distribute. She was jailed in lieu of $25,000 bond.
