It Pays to Advertise
Tyrone Burgo, 20, was arrested in Boston, Mass., for allegedly selling drugs. Police say it wasn’t that he was driving a car with a license plate from another car that led to his arrest, nor that he was driving with a suspended license. Rather, they were led to Burgo because he had advertised his cocaine on the Internet, listing his real phone number. Officers called, set up a meeting, and arrested him after he handed over the drugs. (Boston Globe, AP) ...Too bad he didn’t try to figure out what “BPD Det Bureau” was on his Caller-ID before he agreed to the deal.
