Quincy police said they responded to the Craigslist ad, which included the phrase "420 help is here," Friday and arranged to purchase a quarter ounce of marijuana later in the day at a parking lot that was agreed upon as a meeting place, The (Quincy) Patriot-Ledger reported Wednesday.
Police said detectives posing as customers met with Christopher Gray, 30, of Marlborough, Mass., and purchased a small bag of marijuana from him for $45 after convincing him that they were not undercover police officers. The detectives them placed Gray under arrest.
"This is a first for us, although we have arrested prostitutes who have advertised on Craigslist, " Police Capt. John Dougan said. "It goes without saying that we will continue monitoring Craigslist."
