What Not To Do: Case #6

Barker Style Sales

So you’ve started university and want to subsidize your partying with a little drug trade on the side. Now you just need customers, where oh were do you find them?

According to the Boston Globe Michael Emery, a now ex student of Northeastern University in the United States, decided to advertise that he and his roommate Matthew Ferrante had marijuana for sale. He did this by yelling out his dorm window “If you're looking for weed, my roommate Ferrante has some for sale.” Now being as this is a university such things would probably go unnoticed, except for the fact that a plainclothes cop was within earshot. The police checked them out and these two students had alcohol and weed in plain sight, the two then allowed the cops to search the dorm and the cops found more weed.

The two are up on possession charges, and they have been turffed from the school. So remember class, when you are looking for customers to sell weed to don’t just go yelling out your window advertising that you have illegal substance available for sale, it’s likely to land you in a spot of trouble.
