EUGENE, Ore., Aug. 17, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(AP) A man hoping to score some meth asked the wrong person for the drug. The Eugene police vice narcotics unit had searched an apartment on Monday night and were questioning the tenant when a man came by and asked to buy drugs, Sgt. Jerry Webber said.

As detectives stood around with their badges hanging from their necks and latex gloves on their hands, the man asked the tenant, "Can you hook me up?" Webber said.

The tenant was seated on the couch with handcuffs around his wrists. A detective was writing him a citation.

The tenant said, "I don't think I can help you," Webber recalled, but the visitor persisted. He then allegedly turned to a detective and asked him for meth.

The detective told the visitor, James Wilkinson, 34, of Eugene, he was under arrest for attempted possession of methamphetamine.

Wilkinson tried to run, but officers grabbed him, Webber said.

They found a small amount of marijuana in his possession, Webber said.

They also arrested a man who walked into the apartment carrying seven baggies of meth, Webber said.

1. How the hell can you be arrested for "attempted possession"?

:wtf:

2. yeah,

that doesn't sound right. I bet they got him for possession of the pot, after he supposedly gave them 'grounds' for a search. (????)
