Teacher Arrested after Texting Cop for Weed

Do not text cops for pot!

In the "Dumbest People" great hall of fame, the following individual probably occupies one of the first three places! Ann Greenfield, a middle school teacher from Kentucky, got arrested after sending a state trooper an SMS containing a request for some weed. The lady accidentally send that text message to the cop after failing to write down correctly her dealer's phone number.

Drunken people often call random phone numbers believing they talk with somebody they definitely know but, in Ann's case,
the story is a little different: she wasn't drunk at all and this makes her case get an even stronger "ridiculous" flavor.

I know mistaking somebody's phone number is not such an unusual thing to do but, I suppose, she wasn't trying to get pot from some stranger and she should have had that number written on at least a piece of paper. Being a teacher, the first think to cross her mind must have been to do that but the effects of the weed most surely stopped her to. However, cellphone agendas are not such an innovating thing so she could have at least stored that damned phone number into her handset's memory for further use.

Unfortunately for her, she failed to do that and, after exchanging a couple of text messages with the state trooper, after setting a meeting place where she could meet her "dealer" to get the marijuana and arriving at that certain spot, she found out she was waited for by an entire police squad.

The end of this story? The teacher got arrested and, probably, if she was a snitch, she also got her dealer behind bars. According to USA Today, the unlucky lady was charged with "conspiracy to traffic in controlled substances within 1,000 feet of a school, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia."

Within 1.000 feet of a school you say? I can't stop asking myself if she was sharing that Mary Jane with some of her pupils. If she did, no wonder the number of drug addicts increase each year: they are not only getting the habit from their entourage but, what's worse, they most likely get it from school. And when I'm saying school, I'm not talking about obtaining drugs from the other students but getting them from their teachers.
