Yes, this really happened. Georgia resident Alvin Cross Jr. accidently texted his probation officer inquiring about a marijuana deal this weekend. The message read, “You have some weed?”

After the probation officer received the text message, he immediately alerted local police officers and obtained a search warrant. Upon entry into Cross’s home, a bag of cocaine was seized. He was arrested and booked for violating his probation and drug possession which earned him two years in prison.

From reading this, I would advise everyone to check that you’re sending your message to the intended target before you hit send. I bet Alvin is wishing there was a text message retrieval system once the message has already been sent.
