Punta Gorda PD reels in another one
Police use MySpace to make pot bust:
The Punta Gorda PD strikes yet again. If this keeps up they’re going to get their own category here at MCS. For those of you new to MCS the Punta Gortda PD is my favorite police department in the U.S. because they keep busting drug dealers and users on MySpace. I think this is their 5th or 6th arrest posted on this site alone.
This time they arrested 19-year-old Christopher Sullivan. According to the article his only friend is Tom so I didn’t bother looking for his MySpace. The details of the arrest are hilarious…
Christopher Sullivan, 19, is the latest to be arrested for trying to sell marijuana to police online.
“He said he had seen the media reports concerning MySpace, and he had a feeling it was a bust but decided to show up anyway,” said Detective Tom Lewis with the Punta Gorda Police Department.
Lewis says Sullivan came to a Sweetbay grocery store parking lot to sell marijuana and because he says he was sick of smoking alone. Instead, he was met by a detective ready to arrest him.
“His initial e-mail to me was that he wanted to hook up because he was sick of smoking marijuana alone. He wanted to meet up so we could smoke together and of course we obliged,” said Lewis.
Sullivan told police that their MySpace profile was very convincing.
You may be a burnout if…you post on MySpace that you’re tired of smoking dope alone.

I hope that more and more departments start using myspace to track down criminals.
I’m sorry but if you’er going to be stupid enough to post your illegal activities for anyone to see than you DESERVE to be caught.
