Text Message Error Leads To Pot Bust

(AP)  A middle school teacher trying to buy pot was arrested after she sent text messages to a state trooper instead of a dealer, police said.

Trooper Trevor Pervine was at dinner with his wife and parents celebrating a birthday when his phone started buzzing with messages about a marijuana purchase.

At first, Pervine thought the messages were from friends playing a joke, Kentucky State Police spokesman Barry Meadows said. But a couple of phone calls put that idea to rest, and Pervine responded to set up a meeting, Meadows said.

Authorities say Ann Greenfield, 34, arrived at the meeting point and found Pervine and other law enforcement officers waiting for her.

"She learned her lesson: Program your dealers into your phone," Meadows said.

Greenfield, a teacher at Murray Middle School, was charged with conspiracy to traffic in controlled substances within 1,000 feet of a school, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, Meadows said.

She was suspended with pay pending results of an investigation, the Murray Independent School District said in a statement posted Friday on the district's Web site. A message seeking comment left at a listing for an Ann Greenfield in Murray, Ky. was not returned.

to phil-in-Fin : Even safe drugs around kids that dont understand them can be dangerous. I wouldnt do it around children for that reason, and the fact that because of idiots like you it is still illeagal. You have know business even discussing something you are completly illiterate about. I though teachers read up on things before they try to shove there veiw down someones throat.

To mo005,

I don't call myself a teacher ...

I am a teacher ...

And I don't teach English to children ...

I teach English to adults.

If you cannot smoke in front of children, then it tells me that you have a problem with it too.

To GunOwnerDan,

Nice propaganda.

You should be a politician.

- Legalization would endanger billions of dollars
in prison and law enforcement spending, thousands of jobs would be at stake.

- It is useful in society to have some laws which virtually everybody breaks - that way undesirables can be arrested at will.

- Legal drugs would interfere with the existing pharmaceutical industry.

- Fully legal hemp would interfere with existing paper, rope, clothing and other industries.

- The war on drugs provides a convenient cover under which to project U.S. influence into many countries, particularly in South America and South Asia.

- The war on drugs is a critical revenue source for the prison industry, the CIA, and the DEA.

"If I did have kids, I would not smoke anywhere around them."

Why would you not smoke around them, if you had children? Teach them all about it at a young age, since it is just the same as having a beer, so you claim.

Tell them that marijuana does not lead to coke and crank, that marijuana makes you a better person.

I have three children: a girl 12, a boy 11, and another boy 3.

At a younger age, if you had been caught, especially when you were a competitive swimmer, you risked disgracing not only yourself, but also your entire country internationally.

You still do: When you do get caught, you will be in the papers as a former gold medalist pot-head.

Nice headline.

You will be a Jay Leno and David Letterman joke for a couple of days, when you do get caught, and trust me we all laugh at you.

What a wonderful legacy our atheletes are leaving behind: Drugs make you a winner.

Pathetic.

Defend marijuana.

Make your family proud of you.

If I did have kids, I would not smoke anywhere around them. They would have to grow up and make the decision if they want to try it or not. But I wouldnt be mad if they did. I would talk to them about the drugs that are bad for you and explain what drugs can do to hurt you if misused. Still they would have to make that decision to try those on they'er own when they were of age (18). I will say this also, you dont do drugs and say you never have I am proud for you. I didnt choose your path. Maybe I would be a little better person if I hadnt tried coke and crank. But again pot has never hurt me or anyone I know so I will defend it.

To mo005,

Why would I want your pity, pot-head?

A real role model you are.

Too bad that the doping control didn't catch you.

Do you have any children? If so, do you smoke in front of them and teach all about the big bad law-man?

[mo005]

Oh I got you now . your father was a screw up, so you blame all of us for your upbringing. Sorry no pitty from me. I am a self made man, smoke alot and Oh, I'll race your butt any time, got a gold medal in swimming no semi- professional there.

[phil-in-fin]

To mo005,

You speak like a true pot-head.

I have heard many people speak as you speak, some I even knew in the Army.

One was even my father.

And when it comes to unreliable people, pot-heads. crack-heads, and drunks are at the top of not only my list, but also everybody else's who have a shread of decency.

phil-in-Fin: You can sure tell when someone has never done something but sure acts like they know it all. You dont have a friggin clue as to what any of us smokers are talking about so go learn a little about your drugs before you go spouting off at the mouth. Coke and crank or gofast as we called it back in my youth messed a lot of people up and still does, But smokin pot has never done anything other than make a long day feel better. I never get a hang over and cant OD. You ask anyone that does it. the most you might do on a pot buzz is uh lets see, (like I said before) buy two quarter pounders. So as far as I'm concerned, Its hipocrates such as your self that have this country wasteing valuable resources on busting people for somthing that does less harm than a stupid beer does.
