I suppose ‘Harry’s House of Heroin’ matchbook covers are a bad idea, too …

You can’t slip some things past the police, including these eagle-eyed officers from Annapolis, Md., who were making a routine traffic arrest:

While police were arresting Mr. Greene, his cell phone rang, and the caller ID said it was “Zack the Weed Man” calling.

Officers asked Mr. Greene if he was planning to meet Zack to buy drugs and he told them no. One officer called “Zack the Weed Man” back and confirmed the meeting place at the gas station near his Morris Street home, police said.

The officer took Mr. Greene with him and went to the gas station, where they found 19-year-old Zachary J. Mazzola.

Mr. Mazzola told police he had about 3 grams of marijuana in his pocket and that he was planning to smoke it with Mr. Greene, police said.

…

Officer Hal Dalton, a city Police Department spokesman, called the drug arrest “pure luck.”

“I guess people who are involved in illegal activities don’t think of such things, but you never know who might be around (when your cell phone rings). It’s kind of a risk that goes with the territory,” he said.

If it hadn’t been for the phone call, and the way the caller ID was labeled, the officer likely wouldn’t have known about the drug activity, he added.

“When you have him labeled ‘the weed man,’ that raises suspicions right there,” Officer Dalton said.
