GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A Florida police department is poking fun of the person who accidentally sent a text to an officer asking for marijuana.

KFSN-TV reports that a Gainseville PD officer received a text asking “Hey do you have bud I might need some.” The officer decided to entertain the sender and responded with a picture of their badge, replying “I think you have the wrong number. Drugs are no good for you.”

The errant sender embarrassingly realized their mistake and apologized. The Gainesville PD poked fun of the incident and posted screenshots of the conversation on Saturday.

The department reminded people to “double check the number before you text.”
