TEEN ACCUSED OF SELLING POT THROUGH TEXTING

NEW PORT RICHEY -- A 17-year-old student at River Ridge High School is
accused of selling marijuana via text message. The teenage boy, whose
name is being withheld because of his age, was arrested just after
noon Tuesday and charged with possession of marijuana with intent to
sell on school property. According to an arrest report, authorities
searched his vehicle and found 10.8 grams of marijuana, rolling
papers, an electronic scale and 150 empty plastic baggies. The teen's
case was connected with that of two others accused of illegally
possessing prescription pills. According to a Pasco sheriff's incident
report, one of the text messages went like this: "Yo ... there r 18 of
em u will get em Tues." Another one: "Yo find me some of ur friends to
buy bud i need to sel wat i have to get beaters s--- tomorow."
