It was the last number he should have contacted with a request for drugs - the local sheriff's mobile phone.
　
But that's exactly who a teenager mistakenly texted to ask for a bag of cannabis, and was the victim of sting operation shortly afterwards as a result.
　
The unnamed drug user sent the text to the Lewis and Clark County sheriff in Montana, U.S. after mis-dialling the telephone number of his dealer.
　
In it, he said: 'Hey Dawg, do you have a $20 I can buy right now?'
　
Initially fearing he was the subject of a wind-up, sheriff Leo Dutton was sceptical about the call, but quickly discovered the inquiry was real.
　
Sheriff Dutton said: 'I’m thinking, "Hey this is odd". I was looking around to see if there was someone outside my window playing a prank.'
　
However, he decided to play the part of the dealer and gathered more information by asking 'How much we talking?'
　
The teenager then wrote back, saying he was close to the dealer's home and wanted to complete the purchase.
　
Sheriff Dutton then saw the potential of intercepting the youngster, and contacted a detective from the Missouri River Drug Task Force who arranged to meet the teenager at a local business.
　
At the shop, the detective again phoned the teenager and when he saw a young man with another teenager and a man answer, he went over and showed his badge.
