A 41-year-old American woman would have ended the year 2024 behind bars after mistakenly texting her neighborhood police instead of her fentanyl seller, to organize a drug sale on December 31.
“Be careful who you text!” quipped the Bay County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) on Facebook last week.
On New Year’s Eve, Floridian Octavia Wells probably didn’t expect to be greeted by Bay County law enforcement when she went to a gas station, where she had arranged to meet a drug dealer of drugs, according to the American television channel WLOX.
Except that the woman, who was hoping to arrange a “fentanyl buy before leaving town,” allegedly mistakenly texted a narcotics investigator from the local sheriff’s office, instead of the number of the dealer she wanted to do business with, continued the police force.
-At the time of the meeting, set for December 31, the plainclothes investigator would then have met the forty-year-old at the gas station, before handing her over to the police officers of the BCSO special investigations division, according to the American media.
Handcuffed, Octavia Wells was reportedly formally charged with unlawful use of a two-way communication device, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license.
