Tech-challenged Florida woman busted after accidentally texting cop instead of drug dealer

She wanted to score some dope — not report one!

A tech-challenged Florida woman accidentally texted a cop instead of her drug dealer to buy fentanyl — unwittingly narcing on herself, according to police who arrested her.

Wells said she’d previously entered the cop’s name as “PJ” in her phone — similar to her dealers, according to cops. Bay County Sheriff’s Office

Octavia Wells, 41, had been headed to rehab on New Years Eve when she texted a man she’d previously entered in her phone as “PJ,” allegedly offering to pay $45 for the opioid, according to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office.

The dimwitted druggie then arranged to meet the guy on the other line at a Tom Thumb convenience store in Panama City, according to a police report obtained by the Smoking Gun.

But when she arrived at the store, narcotics cops were waiting there to arrest her, police said.

Wells soon learned she’d mistakenly contacted Stephen Pettijohn, an investigator with the Bay County Sheriff’s Office known as “PJ,” with whom she’d had a “previous iteration,” according to police.

She allegedly later told cops Pettijohn’s name was similar to her drug dealer’s, according to the arrest affidavit.

Details of Wells’ previous interaction with the investigator were not described in the complaint affidavit.
