Cops say man offered cocaine in Craigslist ad
Newsday
March 14, 2007


The advertisement on Craigslist New York said the man would supply cocaine to any female who responded.

Well, detectives from the Garden City Police Department were no doubt stunned when they found the ad. They contacted detectives from the Nassau County Police Department narcotics bureau, who had a female officer respond to the advertisement and arrange to meet the man.


Nassau police said when Joshua W. O'Neil, 32, of Albany, met the female officer Tuesday night in Garden City, he offered her crack cocaine in exchange for "sexual favors."

The only "favor" O'Neil received, police said, was being placed under arrest.

O'Neil was charged with third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and criminal possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell.

He is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in First District Court in Hempstead.

This happens alot on Craigslist New York. People usually say something like "Who would like to ski on clean, fresh powder snow tonight?" or something along those lines. And this isn't the first time that somebody is being arrested based on their stupid remarks.

you don't have to agree with it, but not knowing drugs and prostitution are illegal is nuts.

 

[notornotFMAN]

nobody says he didn't know it was illegal.
he just thought he would get away with it.
