Dating Tip: Don't Date Women Who Don't Check the Number Before Texting

In Salt Lake City, Utah, last week Detective Dan Wendelboth received a text message: "I have 10 Lortab 7.5." Finding it understandably amusing that he was being asked if he'd like to illegaly purchase a prescription painkiller, he responded, "How much?"
"$50."
"Where and when?"
"Wal-Mart parking lot 4700 south and 900 east at 8."
"K. C U then.

At Wal-Mart at 8:00, three woman arrived, one with the Lortab pills, one (not a doctor) with a prescription pad, and one along for the ride. A two-year-old child also came along for the ride, perhaps to learn the family business. (The child is currently in protective custody.) The women were not pleased. The first two were arrested, and the third was released.

Detective Wendelboth summed up the situation eloquently, saying the ladies "weren't real happy, but sometimes we only catch the dumb ones."
