How NOT to sell heroin!

[marcusorelius]

We got some real genius's in this town!

KINGMAN A Kingman man trying to sell heroin texted the wrong number and landed himself and six others in jail Tuesday.

According to sheriffs spokeswoman Trish Carter, the Mohave Area General Narcotics Enforcement Team was contacted by Arizona Department of Corrections parole officers after Christopher Willmon, 46, and a parole violator was texting one of their phone numbers, allegedly attempting to sell them heroin.

In the texts, Willmon allegedly said he was at his home in the 2400 block of Hearne Avenue and a deal to purchase the heroin was arranged. Parole officers and MAGNET detectives went to the home and conducted a search shortly thereafter.

Willmon was found hiding in a shed with a cell phone and allegedly in possession of the heroin he was attempting to sell.

Networking... you just blast every phone number you have in your phone, including your parole officers.

Most criminals are caught because they eventually do something stupid. In the case of heroin, the buyers are also stupid, but that's a different side of the issue.

Selling drugs by TEXT MESSAGING? Stupider than by phone conversation. Text data doesn't go away! You could be caught a year later if your customer's phone is examined.

I used to work with the police quite a bit in a previous life and my SIL is on the local SWAT. My limited insight into law enforcement has convinced me that good law enforcement depends a great deal on the stupidity of the criminals.

That's why Binladen was hard to catch. He stayed off "the net" and did FtF contacts with only a few trusted/vetted people. Everyone else had to communicate with him through go-betweens.

If they were smart (most times) they wouldn't be criminals.

During my time, I've learned this: If criminals weren't stupid, we wouldn't get anything done.
