Tech-challenged Florida woman busted after accidentally texting cop instead of drug dealer [mug shot]

She wanted to score some dope — not report one!

A tech-challenged Florida woman accidentally texted a cop instead of her drug dealer to buy fentanyl — unwittingly narcing on herself, according to police who arrested her.

Octavia Wells, 41, had been headed to rehab on New Years Eve when she texted a man she’d previously entered in her phone as “PJ,” allegedly offering to pay $45 for the opioid, according to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office.

The dimwitted druggie then arranged to meet the guy on the other line at a Tom Thumb convenience store in Panama City, according to a police report obtained by the Smoking Gun.

But when she arrived at the store, narcotics cops were waiting there to arrest her, police said.

Wells soon learned she’d mistakenly contacted Stephen Pettijohn, an investigator with the Bay County Sheriff’s Office known as “PJ,” with whom she’d had a “previous iteration,” according to police.

She allegedly later told cops Pettijohn’s name was similar to her drug dealer’s, according to the arrest affidavit.

Details of Wells’ previous interaction with the investigator were not described in the complaint affidavit.

She was charged with unlawful use of a communication device, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license.

I hate it when this happens. Just trying to score some meth and I text my PO instead.

Not a woman... I guess some hybrid something that was genetically muted in the brain department for easier control.

Something like the ‘tard bank robber who wrote “this is a stickup” on the back of his deposit slip. That was so funny.

Hmmmm. Her hairdo makes this short woman almost 6 ft tall! I’m a short woman, and can’t reach my upper cabinets. Too bad I don’t have enough hair for that do. :( Wait...I could get a wig! Problem solved! :)

Mickey Mouse hasn’t aged well. One of his ears is sagging.

Well, as is clearly shown, the poor woman has some growth on her head that is weighting heavily on her already compromised brain. The added stress of not knowing what day it is or where she was last night and with who can wear poor girl down.

Reminds me of a quote from the movie “Fletch”:

“He is actually six-five, with the afro, six-nine.”
