Sometimes people become so desperate that they don’t know where to tu.

When prospects look dire and family and friends neglect them, some folks resort to dialing the dealer.

However, one man decided to avoid this route, opting to contact a far more unusual confidant instead.

According to WALB, Alvin Cross Jr, of Albany, Georgia, texted ‘you have some weed?’ to his probation officer.

That’s right, Alvin asked the man supervising his probationary period following a stint in prison if he had any drugs to sell.

After the text was received, drug agents raided Cross’ home and found a bag of cocaine.

Unsurprisingly, he will now be retuing to prison.
