Woman Allegedly Calls Officer for Drugs( AP Online )
DURANT, Okla., Mar 16, 2004 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- A woman allegedly trying
to set up a deal to buy illegal drugs may be wishing she'd called information
first.
Bryan County prosecutors charged Patricia Kay Michel with unlawful delivery of a
controlled drug last week after she dialed a wrong number and allegedly
discussed procuring drugs with her former probation officer.
Doug Canant, a state Probation and Parole Officer, said he received a phone call
on his cellular phone Thursday from a woman asking to speak to David.
"I just played along with her, and shortly after that, the conversation turned
to drugs," Canant said on Monday.
The caller identification on his cell phone revealed the telephone number and he
called police, who tracked down an address, he said. Canant called the woman
back and told her he'd come by her house.
Drug agents showed up instead, and after negotiating a trade, the woman went
inside and returned with two pills, an affidavit states.
The agents then informed her she'd just made a drug deal with police.
Meanwhile in Florida, a typo on a flyer for Busch Gardens led surprised callers
to a recorded sex line.
The Tampa theme park inadvertently listed the wrong number its marketing fliers,
which were mailed to some former holders of its discount Fun Card last week,
said park spokesman Gerard Hoeppner.
When patrons called the number to renew their Fun Cards, they heard a woman
welcoming them to the "Pleasure Zone."
Hoeppner said only a handful of people called to complain. The company is
mailing a letter to patrons this week to apologize for the error, he said.
