Drug Dealer Calls Cops To Report A Theft
Man, 33, was busted after saying that drug customer robbed him
SEPTEMBER 25--When working in the field of illegal drug sales, it is never a good idea to contact police to complain that a customer robbed you.
Cops say that Eric Thomas, 33, “called police in reference to a theft” Friday in Largo, a city in the Tampa Bay, Florida area.
Upon being contacted by officers, Thomas “stated he was selling marijuana, and someone stole $10 from him while attempting to sell it.” While reporting the theft, Thomas had 11 baggies of pot in his hands, according to an arrest affidavit.
In the Free State of Florida, it remains illegal to possess marijuana with the intent to sell it.
Thomas “made spontaneous statements about getting robbed while attempting to sell the marijuana,” reported Officer Ricardo Morales, who noted that Thomas was holding more than 40 grams of pot when collared.
