True story this week in Lakewood

A drug deal gone bad ended with one of the parties being robbed at gunpoint, police say. The incident occurred at about 11:45 PM in the parking lot of the Best Western Hotel on Route 70.

A man reportedly agreed to meet a drug dealer to purchase a product, and when he arrived, the dealer pulled a gun on his client instead and demanded his wallet and cell phone. He took the proceeds and fled, without handing over the drugs.

Police are investigating the incident. TLS-YYB/TLS-CCP.

What an idiot:

DRUG ADDICT: A man just robbed me in the parking lot on Rt 70.

POLICE: Please describe what happened.

DRUG ADDICT: I was trying to buy drugs, but he just took the money and never gave me the drugs.

POLICE: Oh. Stay right where you are. We are coming to arrest you.
