Text Inadvertently Sent To NJ Cop Leads To Arrests

SALEM, N.J. (CBS) ― A man who allegedly wanted to buy some marijuana was arrested after he mistakenly sent a text message to a southern New Jersey police officer.

Salem Police Cpl. Christopher Pew was off-duty when he received the message on his personal cell phone this week.

Since he did not know the person who sent the text or whether it was a serious request, Pew agreed to meet the texter at a local shopping center, and the person described what vehicle he would be driving.

That eventually led to the arrests of two Pennsville residents, 22-year-old John Milligan and 20-year-old Kelly Reilly, who were charged with loitering to commit a controlled dangerous substance offense.

As of the last census, Salem had a population of at least 5,857.
