Authorities: Man Mistakenly Sent Prosecutor Text About Trading Marijuana For Heroin

EDWARDSVILLE, Pa. (CBS/AP) — Authorities say a man mistakenly sent a text message to a Pennsylvania prosecutor indicating that he wanted to trade marijuana for heroin.

Luzerne County prosecutors say Assistant District Attorney Jill Matthews received a text Nov. 2 using drug lingo that they called an "obvious text for a drug deal." They say she later received a photo of a plastic bag containing a green substance on a scale.
