iPadded Cell
Jacob Walker of Gilbert, Ariz., wanted an Apple iPad, so he decided to post an ad on Craigslist on June 5 offering a trade. The problem was what he wanted to trade for it.
Police became interested when a citizen called their tip line and reported the ad, complete with picture, offering the trade:
If you can't quite read that, it says:
Wanted IPAD 32GB READ THIS!!! (gilbert)
i am willing to trade my 32 gb ipod touch 3rd generation and a quarter of DANK. blue dream straight outta cali. the ipod is in PERFECT condition. not one scratch it has been in the case the whole time and has never had screen cover removed!!!! let me know!!!!"
The photo with the ad shows the iPod in a case, and some "Cali" marijuana sitting on a scale, police spokesman Mark Marino said.
Detectives replied to the posting and set up a meeting with Walker. Marino says Walker arrived at the designated meeting place with another man, Joseph Velarde, and gave the marijuana to an undercover detective.
Walker and Velarde were arrested in connection with conspiracy to sell marijuana.
Maybe it's just us, but we think these guys have had enough iPot.

As technology goes up, intelligence goes down. The new name should be Disorganized Crime.

Walker DOES look like he's had enough iPot, Randy, but Velarde just looks like he's going to really HURT, MAIM or KILL Walker if he ever gets his hands on him. One must question whether or not he knew about the advertisement prior to accompanying Walker on the deal. {{"highly" amused}}
