The Nebraska teen is accused of using his cellphone's text-messaging function to advertise that he had marijuana for sale. He was arrested May 2 for selling drugs to an undercover narcotics officer.
According to the newspaper The Nebraska Journal Star, Lyman sent out a text message in February saying that he had $30 sacks of marijuana for sale. But the 18-year-old accidentally sent the message to a wrong number. The recipient was unfamiliar with Lyman and contacted Lincoln police.
The report said police responded to the message and expressed an interest in the drugs. An undercover officer met with the teen on February 14 and purchased two $30 bags of marijuana.
Lyman was arrested May 2 after a traffic stop and charged with two counts of distribution.
