PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WFLA) — A woman landed herself in hot water when she texted someone she believed was a drug dealer, but accidentally messaged a Bay County narcotics investigator instead.

According to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, Octavia Wells, 41, unknowingly texted the investigator’s phone about purchasing some fentanyl before an out-of-town trip.

The BCSO said that the investigator immediately responded and arranged to meet Octavia at a local gas station for the illicit “sale.”

When she arrived at the spot, investigators arrested the woman.
