from AP:
HELENA, Mont. – General rule of thumb: when looking to buy marijuana, don't text the sheriff. Authorities said a Helena teen hit a wrong number and inadvertently sent a message to Lewis and Clark County Sheriff Leo Dutton, saying "Hey Dawg, do you have a $20 I can buy right now?"
A detective pretending to be the dealer organized a meeting at a time when the boy knew he and another teen would be at a particular store.
The detective spotted two teenage boys and one of the boy's fathers — who was unaware of what was going on — at the store. He called the phone number three times to make sure he had the right person. Dutton said when the detective showed the teens his badge, one of the boys fainted.
No citations were issued after the parents of the boys, who were 15 and 16, got involved.

My take - I've made the mistake of texting "Wow, I'm glad she got lost, she was a..." accidently to the "she" instead of the intended recepient. I'm glad cell phones weren't as available in the early/mid
'90's when i was these kids ages (all you could do is page "(607)123-4567 911"). I could see myself doing something that dumb back in the day.
