hazards of cold calling
Gulfport cops think a drug dealer dialed a random number to try to drum up new business.
Detective Matt Parks said he was at home Sunday night when he received a strange call. He said the caller asked for a name Parks did not recognize, but when Parks told him he had the wrong number, the caller did not just hang up.
Parks said instead, the caller asked the detective if he wanted to buy some drugs.
Parks set up the deal at a nearby school, and sent the police to meet the guy. The fourteen year old was arrested for possession and intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school.
It doesn’t say if Detective Parks is on the telemarketing Do Not Call registry.
