A Missouri man trying to sell a catalytic converter online has been arrested after a huge stash of meth and a syringe were spotted in the background of the photo he used for the advertisement.
James Kertz, 38, was taken into custody in Reeds Spring on Wednesday after posting a photo of the catalytic converter on Facebook Marketplace.
His bag of meth and drug paraphernalia were clearly visible on the coffee table behind the exhaust emission device he was trying to get rid of.
Stone County Sheriff Doug Rader said someone tipped them off to the drug stash soon after Kertz posted the ad on Facebook.

More common to Craigslist back in the day. That was a way of advertising a gun for sale without getting your post yanked. Put up an ad for a bicycle or some other BS item for sale, with a gun in the photograph somewhere in the frame easily visible.
That little .38 spc is just a little pimp gun. Cylinder doesn’t even have the clearance for a speed loader.
Good enough to take down someone from across the room.
Which is what I bought it for.
Not the same gun as in the picture. Mine’s a revolver.
Piece of crap converter. No wonder he was arrested.
“He wasn’t selling the converter.
Old online trick.”
Never occurred to me. All I know is that the converter is a piece of crap.
How could the police assume it was meth and not say baking soda or something else perfectly innocuous?
“Missouri man” is giving “Florida man” a run for his money in the stupidity department.
I have a .357 taurus revolver. It works.

Not “one upping” you but I now have two of them. I inherited my wife’s when she passed away.
Curious, what makes it/them/those POS Taurus revolvers ?
The 1” Barrel ?
The Great looking Walnut Grips ? (IMO anyway. Prefer Rubber Grips for Me.)
When pulled us over and asked to see what we were drinking, we'd peel off the bag to reveal a bottle of Dr. Pepper or some other non-alcoholic drink.
Then we'd have a good laugh. It just dawned on me that a bag of epsom salt would work with this gig.
Hmm. Dr. Pepper, you say?
They look spiffy with the gold trigger, and hammer and walnut grips hence the pimp gun.
The chamber barely swings open enough to load it, and the trigger feels like gravel and kind of heavy.
So, you wouldn’t have any problem being shot by it?
I would only have a problem being seen carrying it.
It’s not a bad choice for a small woman, like my wife. Very concealable.
you can do better with a hammerless
I wouldn’t have that particular one, don’t care a thing about the gold trim.
But...Taurus has improved greatly over the past 20 years, they make some good stuff now. My 9mm is a Taurus. Lifetime warranty, geat reviews, everybody I’ve talked to at stores and pawn shops says they haven’t seen one person buy one and didn’t like it.
They also make some nice revolvers these days, a .357 I’d love to get my hands on but can’t afford it, and a nice .38 that shows up at the local Adcademy now and then. Very comfortable handgrips, same lifetime warranty, and that warranty is transferrable if you sell it.
They may have been a POS saturday night special brand 20 years ago, today Taurus actually has a very good reputation. Any time I go looking at guns, I look at the less expensive Taurus first, their quality has improved greatly over the past 20 years. If I manage to afford another one any time soon, it just might be the Taurus .357...4 or 5 inch barrel, nice grips, good price, not much to dislike...
I had a professor send me a screenshot of a problem with one of our web apps. One of the tabs was StormFront.

So you suggest concealed carry?
