You’re typically going to have a fair amount of trouble making a living as a drug dealer if you don’t know how to keep a low profile, and it seems like you may want to steer clear of stapling bags of cocaine to business cards if you want to avoid drawing the attention of the law.
I can’t say I have any personal experience when it comes to selling drugs, but based on what I do know about that particular line of work, it never hurts to ensure your customers have an easy way to hit you up when they’re looking to get their fix.
According to CityNews, one particularly enterprising man in Calgary attempted to address that issue by whipping up some business cards he could hand out to potential clients who were given the chance to sample his wares courtesy of the tiny bags of cocaine that he stapled to the bag.
Authorities say the cards in question came to their attention when they were informed someone had been distributing them in a casino in the city on Christmas Eve last year.
They subsequently launched an investigation that led to them identifying a suspect (who was using “Alex Lee” as an alias) before compiling enough evidence to justify an arrest. After he was detained, the police searched the vehicle and home of the 30-year-old suspect and discovered close to 60 grams of cocaine packaged for sale along with a scale and $1,280 in cash.
Oh, they also found a box containing some of the aforementioned business cards advertising the services of the so-called “driver.”
The alleged dealer was subsequently charged with multiple counts of trafficking and possession, and while they may be innocent until proven guilty, I’m not exactly loving their chances in court based on the evidence at hand.
