Teen accidentally texts sheriff for pot

A teenager in Montana accidentally sent a text message to the local sheriff to buy cannabis.

According to The AP, the boy entered the wrong number and inadvertently sent a message to Lewis and Clark County Sheriff Leo Dutton.

The text read: "Hey Dawg, do you have a $20 I can buy right now?"

A fast-thinking detective posed as a drug dealer and arranged to meet the boy and a friend, 15 and 16 years of age, at a local store.

Upon arriving at the store, the detective spotted the two teenagers, who were joined by one of the boy's unsuspecting fathers. He called the mobile number three times to ensure he had the correct suspects, then approached the pair and showed his badge, causing one of them to faint.

The boys were let off with a warning after their parents got involved.
