Jacob Walker of Gilbert, Ariz., wanted an Apple iPad, so he decided to post an ad on Craigslist on June 5 offering a trade. The problem was what he wanted to trade for it.
Police became interested when a citizen called their tip line and reported the ad, complete with picture, offering the trade:
If you can't quite read that, it says:
Wanted IPAD 32GB READ THIS!!! (gilbert)
i am willing to trade my 32 gb ipod touch 3rd generation and a quarter of DANK. blue dream straight outta cali. the ipod is in PERFECT condition. not one scratch it has been in the case the whole time and has never had screen cover removed!!!! let me know!!!!"
The photo with the ad shows the iPod in a case, and some "Cali" marijuana sitting on a scale, police spokesman Mark Marino said.
Detectives replied to the posting and set up a meeting with Walker. Marino says Walker arrived at the designated meeting place with another man, Joseph Velarde, and gave the marijuana to an undercover detective.
