Killeen, Texas, Marijuana sale on Craigslist ends in bust

OFF THE WIRE
A Killeen man's alleged attempt to sell marijuana over the online classifieds website Craigslist turned sour after an officer from the Nolanville Police Department decided to respond.
A Bell County grand jury indicted McDaryon Lenier Jordan, 21, Wednesday on a charge of possession of marijuana
5 pounds or less, a state jail felony.
Nolanville police became aware that someone was advertising marijuana for sale to people living in the 254 area code after a resident alerted them to an advertisement they had spotted on Craigslist.
The advertisement included an e-mail address and telephone number for the seller, an arrest report states.
"It's just like he was advertising a used car," Assistant District Attorney Murff Bledsoe said.
The officer e-mailed the seller and began to negotiate the purchase of 1 pound of marijuana. Once they reached a price, the officer set up a purchase at the intersection of Farm-to-Market 439 Spur and Ryans Circle, Bledsoe said.
Officers from the Central Texas Narcotics Task Force and Nolanville PD set up surveillance of a vehicle described by the seller as his vehicle.
Police pulled the vehicle over, which Jordan had been driving,.
Jordan told officers he had marijuana in the car. Inside the car, officers located 14.4 ounces of marijuana in a shoebox.
