Salt Lake City detective, Dan Wendelboth, received the following unusual text message

"I have 10 Lortab 7.5"

Not being one to miss out on a golden opportunity, he decided to play along with the conversation to help police nail the suspected dealer.

Wendelboth replied to the text, asking for a price, together with instructions for a time and place when he could buy the medication - a prescription painkiller.

Carrie Brooker, 27, Christine Rollins, 42, and one other female, were arrested in a Wal-Mart parking lot when they arrived to sell their wares. One of the woman was busted for carrying the Lortabs and another was arrested for prescription forgery. Sadly, a two-year-old who was with one of the women is now in protective custody.

When they sent their spam, these women should have thought of the subtext. (sorry, couldn't resist).
