From Los Angeles station KTLA:
Missouri man trying to sell catalytic converter online arrested after ‘large bag of meth’ seen in ad
A Missouri sheriff’s department issued a reminder to people this week after a social media sales ad led to an arrest: keep your drugs out of online photographs.
The sheriff was tipped off to the discovery by an eagle-eyed citizen, who noticed someone trying to sell a catalytic converter online had posted a picture Tuesday night that included a “large bag of meth and syringe” in the background, the Stone County Sheriff’s Office reported.
On Wednesday, detectives went to the man’s home and served a search warrant.
“You can imagine his surprise!!” Stone County Sheriff Doug Rader wrote in a Facebook post. “He still had 48 grams of meth and a pistol that he is forbidden to own! We have now provided him a new place to stay.”
