Facebook Ad Leads to Stone County Arrest

A person selling a catalytic converter on Facebook is arrested after his picture of the item included some illegal drugs in the background.

The Stone County Sheriff's Office posts the story on their Facebook Page of how the man in taking the picture of the item for sale didn't realize that there was a bag of meth and a syringe on the coffee table behind where the picture was taken. Sheriff Doug Rader says in the post that he was contacted by someone who saw the picture which eventually led to a search warrant being issued and the man being arrested. Rader says officers found a pistol as well as 48 grams of meth in the man's possession.

The Stone County Sheriff's Office Website lists the arrested man as 38-year-old James Kertz who remains in the Stone County Jail on the Drug Charges.
