Today’s Stupid Stoner Story doesn’t actually involve any real stoners. But the cops in this story were trying to bust stoners…
(Metro UK) In a triumph of covert police work, undercover officers in North Carolina arrested another undercover officer from a different force after buying drugs off him.
The entirely drug dealer-free drug deal occurred when undercover officers from the Statesville Police Department met a man interested in selling them some marijuana. The man was an undercover deputy from Iredell County Sheriff’s Office.
Statesville is the county seat of Iredell county.
The Statesville officers apparently became suspicious that the drug-dealer was, in fact, an undercover deputy – so they rang the narcotics unit of the sheriff’s office to check. They were told that the dealer was definitely not an undercover deputy.
They promptly arrested the man, before officers from the sheriff’s office arrived and confirmed that the man was, in fact, and undercover deputy. He was then released.
Sheriff Phil Redmond told the Statesville Record & Landmark: ‘We had several large-scale operations going on at once, and the wires got crossed on this one.’
Statesville Police Chief Tom Anderson said: ‘It was a learning experience. Fortunately, nobody was hurt.’
Well, no one except the taxpayers of Iredell County, North Carolina, who just paid for at least three to five officers’ time wasted trying to bust people for selling a weed. Did you know that only 13% of all burglaries and car thefts result in an arrest by police? Only 46% of all violent crimes are solved by police. Meanwhile, one county cop is trying to fool some other city cops into buying some weed and some more county cops have to sort it all out. Anybody feel any safer?
A triumph of police work? Explain that one to me… If it was so certain, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PARAGRAPHS OF BLATHER, AND NOT SENTENCES, OR SIMPLE WORDS AS FACT?
To answer Mr. 420, we was a narc from another jurisdiction so thats why they didnt know he was also a narc. Anyways, this whole thing seems so retarded to me that they even go through the trouble of throwing people in jail for buying a few grams of bud.

Wouldn’t this be condenser entrapment if the buyer was a citizen? I really hope Criminal reform comes and comes soon. Laws needs to be changed so that cops don’t entrap people and persons into breaking the law….The cops know what that can do and can’t…some are good police and some are bad cops….But why target the marijuana smoker? The reason…We are easy to prey upon…and more arrest they make on simple marijuana possession…the more federal money the get in grants for this so called “drug war”…..And if you don’t believe me…I know first hand how the government works….I fell victim to a so called drug sting……and now I am a casualty of this drug war…at least I didn’t spend any lengthy jail time…I do now have a record…Because they knew I smoked a little weed, and that how they work……….
how the heck didnt they know there own guy was undercover? oh well its the carolinas not much else to be expected
More of my tax dollars well spent… I feel so safe now.
