BROWNSVILLE, Texas -A 19-year-old man was jailed on a drug charge after he allegedly went door-to-door trying to sell marijuana. A Brownsville police spokesman said Anthony Carrazco's alleged scheme went awry when he knocked on a police officer's apartment door.
Spokesman Jimmy Manrrique said the episode happened Thursday downtown near the University of Texas-Texas Southmost College campus. He said Carrazco appeared to be intoxicated and allegedly had three ounces of marijuana with him that he tried to sell door-to-door. Finally, Manrrique knocked the off-duty police officer's door.
The officer "said he would be right back and went to get his badge and handcuffs."
Manrrique said the officer, whose identity was withheld, also found a handgun hidden on the man. Carrazco remains in a Cameron County jail with bonds totaling $10,000. No attorney was listed in his booking record.
Times is tough right? The economy has hit us all hard but I can tell you from what little time I spent in the shithole known as Brownsville, times are tough as hell there. The economy is rough, plus no competent businessman would want to live in a place as devoid as worth as Brownsville. So, as I see it, this poor young man had no choice. He had to come up some sort of creative business plan to escape the Valley and selling pot door to door is what he came up with. It's no Microsoft, but not a bad start.
P.S. - Had I still been working at my former emplyer I would have glady taken that pot off his hands.
