Octavia Wells, 41, from Bay County, has been accused of sending a text requesting to buy fentanyl before she headed out of town. But instead of sending it to her local dealer, she allegedly mistakenly forwarded the message to a narcotics investigator at her local sheriff’s office.
Police seized the chance to go undercover and set up a ‘sale of fentanyl’ with Wells, according to Atlanta New First. She was told to visit a gas station where she thought she would be picking up the drugs.
But she was greeted instead by members of the local law enforcement authority and arrested. Wells has since been charged with unlawful use of a two-way communication device, possession of drug paraphernalia, and driving with a suspended license.
