LINDALE, Texas (AP) - An east Texas woman who allegedly was trying to set up a drug sale turned out to be mistakenly texting law officers.

The Smith County Sheriff's Office says 51-year-old Debra Langham of Lindale was booked Monday on a marijuana possession charge. She was freed the following day on $5,000 bond. Jail records did not list an attorney for Langham.

Investigators say she was caught after agreeing to meet an alleged buyer at a certain location. Langham had provided a description of her vehicle.

Deputies recovered about $400 worth of marijuana.

Lt. Tony Dana says Langham apparently put in the wrong number when the sheriff's office began receiving the texts several weeks ago.

I wish they would tell you who she thought she was texting. Meaning, did they already intercept her buyer and arrest them and take possession of thier phone, or were they just posing as someone new whom she hadn't previously known???

Damn cops, never want to own up to the fact that they use intrapment all the time to bust people.

A drug deal is a little different than a provider.
