Selling pot to your former parole officer = not great idea

4/23/2012

To make money as a drug dealer, you've got to sell more of your wares than you actually consume. One South Carolina man must have inhaled a pretty ample amount of his own product to make this boneheaded mistake. Cedrick Barnes allegedly tried to sell a half pound of marijuana (street value: $1,200) to his former probation officer Friday night. The tipped-off cops met Barnes in the shopping center parking lot where the deal was supposed to go down and transported him right to the clink. He's out on bail now, though he might want to vet his clientele before attempting future sales.
