Text message mixup leads to drug arrest

MARTINSVILLE, Ind. (WISH) - A man is facing charges after he sent a text message about a drug deal to a prosecutor’s office employee in Morgan County, instead of a customer.

According to court documents, the employee received text messages about “Roxy,” a street name for Oxycodone, and “fortys” which refers to the dose of the prescription painkiller.

When the employee called the person to get his name, he began offering to meet up to sell her drugs, despite her not inquiring about them, the court document said.

Shawn Means, 26, of Martinsville, is now facing charges of dealing in a schedule II controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and public intoxication.
