A Florida man texted a homeowner asking for his drugs back after trespassing. Bad time to misplace your drugs!

The Florida man is accused of unintentionally setting himself up to be arrested after law enforcement says he sent a text about leaving drugs behind in a home he was asked to leave. Sounds like he didn't want to go without his drugs. The incident reportedly happened in Holmes County, Florida. Deputies responded to a call about having one Christopher Newton removed and trespassed from a home, per FOX 13 News. While on the scene, he reportedly texted the homeowner about drugs he left on the nightstand. Well, officers got permission to search the room and found a plastic bag with cocaine inside of it. Newton was then arrested and charged with possession of cocaine. Would he have been caught had he not sent the text? Probably not! The Holmes County Sheriff's Office took to social media to say, "If you're going to leave something behind, maybe don't text about it!" You can see Newton's mugshot provided by the Holmes County Sheriff's Office below.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
