Craigslist ad leads to arrest

I have heard alot of stories about alot of stupid criminals,but this one takes the cake!A guy in Stamford,Connecticut used the popular online classified Craigslist to advertise marijuana for sale!
His ad touted "Mary Jane in Fairfield County" and offered high-grade marijuana for $440 an ounce and lower-grade herbage for $320 per ounce.
Stamford Police officers spotted the ad and responded under false pretenses as a local painting crew looking for some smoke and Steven Zahorsky,24,agreed to meet them Wednesday at the McDonalds located at an I-95 rest stop.He then delivered an ounce of the "high-test" grass to the undercover officers car and collected $320 from him.Upon his arrest,he insisted he was just there to grab a Big Mac-despite the fact he was in possession of the $320 and the officers number was on his cell phone.The police raided Zahorskys home and seized more marijuana,psychedelic mushrooms,a digital scale,a shotgun and ammunition.Zahorsky was released on bail and faces a trial next month to defend against several drug related charges.
I also nominate him for the list of World's Dumbest Criminals!It's one thing to sell a car or computer or find a roommate on Craigslist but advertising that you have illegal drugs for sale on a site that ANYONE can visit is monumentally stupid!What was he thinking?No one knows.Attempts to contact him by news media found no phone number listed for him.But we all know he has a cell phone!LOL
