Dumb Florida Criminals: Woman tweets looking for weed, deputies respond

When a Florida woman took to Twitter on Tuesday to request that someone bring her some weed, deputies responded.

Twitter user @Rosa_Sparkz, who describes herself as a twenty-something from Jupiter, FL, took to the social media site around 1:30 p.m. and tweeted "Somebody bring me weed. I'll pay for it."

Within an hour, The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office sent this reply via its own Twitter account: "Where should we meet you?"

@Rosa_Sparkz, who lists her name as “Goddess,” even wrote back, stating “@PBCountySheriff follow back so I can DM you the location.”

Hope that a cop just looking at Twitter, but if cops are monitoring social networks for "key" words, that is another matter. Regardless, it was dumb.
