Gulfport, Fla. – Investigators arrested a 14-year-old boy who apparently dialed a really, really wrong number.

Authorities said the boy offered to sell drugs to the person on the other end, who happened to be a police detective.

Gulfport Detective Matt Parks arranged to meet the teen in the parking lot of a school to buy an ounce of marijuana and some crack cocaine, according to a police report. When the boy showed up Sunday, he was charged with possession of 18 grams of marijuana with intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school.

Parks’ phone number is unlisted, and there were no similar numbers found in the boy’s cellphone, police said. Detectives said the boy, whose name was not released, most likely dialed a random number looking for a customer.
