A 13-YEAR-OLD'S DRUG DEAL BUSINESS PLAN

Verbatim -- His Lost Wallet Contains More Than Just Drugs, Police Say

NEW PORT RICHEY - A young businessman suffered defeat this week when 
the enemy found his to-do list.

The boy, 13, dropped his wallet on Wednesday at Gulf Middle School, 
according to a New Port Richey police report. A fellow student found 
it and gave to a teacher, who gave it to a police officer, who found 
0.035 ounces of cocaine and a Risperdal pill and seven Lexapro 
tablets. The latter two drugs are used to treat mental disorders. 
They were enough to send the boy to a juvenile assessment center on 
drug-possession charges. The St. Petersburg Times is not naming the 
boy because of his age

The handwritten note found alongside the drugs appeared to be the 
boy's business plan, misspellings and grammatical errors included:

(Name deleted) owe's me weed or money

Get -- white widdow seeds, Dro seeds, and Regular High mid's seeds 
20$- 40$ Dollars

Dead. If I sell, sell out my house And Dont Bring or sell to Anyone I
