Text meant for drug dealer sent to sheriff

Text meant for drug dealer sent to sheriff

 

ALANA LISTOE                                                                                  Independent Record

A Helena teen sent out a text message last week looking to buy marijuana, only instead of texting the drug dealer, he hit a wrong number.

Who received it?

The Lewis and Clark County sheriff.

The text message said: “Hey Dawg, do you have a $20 I can buy right now?”

Sheriff Leo Dutton initially thought someone was playing a joke on him, but quickly realized it was a real request for a drug exchange.

“I’m thinking, ‘Hey this is odd,’ ” Dutton said. “I was looking around to see if there was someone outside my window playing a prank.”

He played along as if it were legitimate. “How much we talking?” Dutton replied to the teen.

The sender said he was close to the dealer’s house, so Dutton got the Missouri River Drug Task Force involved. A detective pretending to be the dealer agreed to meet the sender at a business at the north end of town at 6 p.m. last Wednesday, Dutton said.

Inside the business the detective spotted two male juveniles with an adult male. To ensure it was the right person, the detective called the number three times, Dutton said.

The detective called the teens over and showed them his badge. Dutton said the young boys turned white and their knees began to wobble. The group went outside to discuss the issue further and one of the teens passed out.

“Was it divine intervention or just bad luck?” Dutton said.

The adult male with the group turned out to be the father of one of the teens. He was a big, military-looking guy and he wasn’t happy, Dutton said. The drug detective got both of the teens’ parents involved and decided not to issue any citations.

“When the detective saw there were parents that wanted to be involved he took the right action and I’m really proud of the deputy,” Dutton said. “Trying to buy drugs is a crime, but it’s probably worse that they had to face their parents.”

Phones shot into jail with bow, arrow

Teen caught when arrow struck officer on the back

SAO PAULO (AP) - Police say a 17-year-old teen was detained after he shot arrows with cell phones attached over the walls of a prison in southern Brazil to inmates waiting on the other side.

Authorities say the boy was caught after one of the arrows he launched struck a police officer on the back. The officer was not seriously injured because the cell phone was tied to the tip of the arrow and softened the impact.

Police Lt. Mauricio Cravo told RBS TV that a local gang hired the teen, giving him a professional bow and training him how to use it.

Authorities said the teen was able to shoot at least four cell phones into the prison before he was caught late Wednesday.

Inmates are prohibited from owning or using cell phones in Brazil.

Those born on September 3rd

    Those born on September 3rd are not always what they seem.  Because others so often misread their nature and potentials, those born on this day may be forced to play roles in life which, although not always disagreeable, are not exactly what they want either.  Though September 3rd   people are generally multi-talented, often one of their attributes is appreciated at the expense of the rest.  Physical beauty in September 3rd females is a case in point, because of good looks, their other fine qualities may go unrecognized. Men born on this day tend to be mistaken by other for an easy touch, or pigeonholed by career or family status.

    Although they can impress others as quiet and tractable, no one who has ever tried to take advantage of a September 3rd person will forget the result.  Those born on this day have a steel-like armor that seals them off from all forms of flattery.  They may appear gentle, even a bit soft, but they will insist on being treated honorably and fairly, and vigorously resist effort to push them around.

    The greatest challenge for September 3rd people is in being more open with others and fearlessly confronting self-doubts.  They put their high moral code and sense of justice to work in defense of those who need help, rather than being defensive about what they perceive as criticism directed against themselves. 

    These born on the 3rd of the month are ruled by the number 3.  Number 3 generally seeks to rise to the highest position in their sphere.   Number 3 people also love their independence, so those born on September 3rd in particular must avoid playing a part for others which they would rather not play.

    Advice:    Actively seek to do what you really want to do.  Develop your self-confidence and assertiveness. Don’t be afraid to fail.  Try not to cultivate too much mystery around what you do, take the time to explain your methods and motives to others. 

Strengths:    Multi-talented, socially adept and patient.

Weaknesses:    procrastinating, overly stoic or yielding

Born On This Day:   Louis Sullivan, Carl D. Anderson, Dixie Lee Ray, Charlie Sheen and Mort Walker.

This Day In History: September 3, 1783:   Treaty of Paris signed

The American Revolution officially comes to an end when representatives of the United States, Great Britain, Spain and France sign the Treaty of Paris on this day in 1783. The signing signified America's status as a free nation, as Britain formally recognized the independence of its 13 former American colonies, and the boundaries of the new republic were agreed upon: Florida north to the Great Lakes and the Atlantic coast west to the Mississippi River.

  Great Inventions:  1940 A patent for the production of diuretics was obtained by Bockmuhl, Middendorf and Fritzsche.

Those born on September 2nd

     Those born on September 2nd are not big on frills. They hate phoniness and despise all forms of affectation. Rarely will they make excuses for their work or behavior. They also have little time for robbing analytic explanations of their motives, referring to let their actions speak for themselves. September 2 people just want to get on with the job, and indeed become workaholics.

     Most September 2nd people present an unassuming exterior, and do not go out of their way to draw attention to themselves. If blessed with moderate talents, they generally choose a tried and true career path with a low risk factor. The more unusual people born on this day may seek some degree of danger and excitement, but usually prefer to generate it themselves rather than just go along for the ride.

     September 2nd people are usually good at handling money and finances, particularly their own, even if they don’t have that much to manage. Materially oriented, many September 2nd are strongly physical types. They are attuned to the usefulness and beauty of objects and materials, recognizing their value and handling them accordingly. In matters of love, September 2 people can be pretty particular about what they want, and choose to settle for nothing rather than compromise their expectations. To say they are rather demanding of mates and lovers may well be an understatement.

   Those born on the 2nd of the month are ruled by the number 2. Number 2 people make good co-workers and partners, rather than leaders, and this influence may aid September 2 people in adjusting jobs or relationships. However, it may also act as a brake on individual initiative and action, producing frustration.

Advice: Learn to balance your feelings. Do not be satisfied with second best. If you believe you can do it, get on with it. However, allow for inspiration- don’t just work for work’s sake. Share affections with others.

Strengths:  Fair, honest and unpretentious.

Weaknesses: Unyielding, moody and explosive.

Born On This Day: Jimmy Connor, Terry Bradshaw, Eric Dickerson, Chista McAullie, and John Thomson.

This Day in History: First ATM opens for business

On this day in 1969, America's first automatic teller machine (ATM) makes its public debut, dispensing cash to customers at Chemical Bank in Rockville Center, New York. ATMs went on to revolutionize the banking industry, eliminating the need to visit a bank to conduct basic financial transactions. By the 1980s, these money machines had become widely popular and handled many of the functions previously performed by human tellers, such as check deposits and money transfers between accounts. Today, ATMs are as indispensable to most people as cell phones and e-mail.

"We're about to crash," passengers told in error?"

"  We're about to crash," passengers told in error"

LONDON | Fri Aug 27, 2010 11:32am EDT



LONDON (Reuters) - British Airways apologized to passengers after an emergency message warning they were about to crash into the sea was played by mistake. 

About 275 passengers were on the London Heathrow to Hong Kong flight on Tuesday evening when the automated message went out. The plane was flying over the North Sea at the time. 

Cabin crew quickly realized the error and moved to reassure the terrified passengers. 

"We all thought we were going to die," Michelle Lord, 32, of Preston, northern England, told The Sun newspaper. 

Another passenger was reported saying: "I can't think of anything worse than being told your plane's about to crash."

A spokesman for British Airways said an investigation was under way to discover whether it was human error or a computer glitch. 

"We apologize to passengers on board the flight for causing them undue distress," he added in a statement. 

"Our cabin crew immediately made an announcement following the message advising customers that it was an error and that the flight would continue as normal."

PESHASTIN — A Snohomish man accidentally shot himself in his left buttock Saturday when he put a handgun in his back pocket.

Darrel Elam, 52, was preparing to go hiking on Blewett Pass and had moved his 40-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun from its holster to his back pocket to see if that position would be more comfortable for walking, said Jerry Moore, chief of administration for the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office.

The gun discharged and shot down his left buttock and left leg, coming to rest just above his knee.

Elam was treated at Central Washington Hospital and released, a hospital spokeswoman said. The incident happened on Blewett Pass about 12 miles from Peshastin.
