ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Police say a woman selling drugs mistakenly called an Albuquerque police detective. KOB-TV reported 30-year-old Renea Lucero was arrested recently when she called the detective at his department-issued cellphone and made the officer an unexpected offer. Court documents say the detective knew Lucero from a prior criminal case. But the report says he didn't think Lucero realized who she had dialed. The officer then set up a drug bust. The detective said Lucero pulled the heroin out of her bra during a sting and was arrested on trafficking charges.
