Buyer Beware!

Caveat Emptor takes on a whole new meaning when undercovers sell drugs. Buyer beware!
Not only is the product bad, you get a cop in every box.

On May 23, 2008 the Key West Police Department's Special Operations Unit arrested three young men for trying to buy drugs from undercover detectives. Thomas Jenkins, 35, Jarrett Przybyszewski, 24, and Joseph Martinez, 24, were charged with solicitation to purchase cocaine after they asked undercover detectives if they could buy drugs from them. All three were transported to the Monroe County Detention Center.

On February 5th and 6th, 2009 in Chester, Pennsylvania undercover narcotics officers arrested 30 people who came to the Crosby Street area to buy drugs. The operation filled the department’s cell blocks to capacity. The undercover officers posed as dealers selling crack, cocaine, heroin and marijuana. “Whatever they asked for, we had,” said one officer. Apparently, all of the drugs, except the marijuana, were fake. Although the oldest person arrested was 70 years old, it appears that Pennsylvania's druggies are getting old. Most of those arrested were in their forties. See article at:
