The new girl in class caught Justin Laboy's eye immediately. She was 5-foot-4 and very pretty, with long straight black hair. She was a Dominican girl from Queens, he was a Puerto Rican boy from the Bronx.

And Laboy, an honor student at Park Vista Community High School in Palm Beach County, Florida, was smitten. The kind of smitten that makes an 18-year-old do dumb things -- like bring marijuana to school to impress his new girl.

He asked her to the prom; she said yes.

Only Laboy's new crush wasn't really a high school student. She was a 25-year-old police officer, a new recruit, working undercover as part of a massive string operation in 2011 to bust drug dealers at Palm Beach schools.
Park Vista Community High School

Laboy told his story -- something out of a bad high school movie script -- to the public radio program This American Life.

As a result of him bringing drugs to school for his new girl -- something he says he never would have done without her urging -- Laboy spent a week and jail and has a felony conviction on his record. He's on probation for three years.

His dream of joining the Air Force and making something of himself -- gone, he says.

Laboy was caught up in a massive sting that saw young recruits to the local police department posing as high school students for months -- eating lunch at the cafeterias, sitting in class, doing homework.

In May 2011, police arrested 31 people -- mostly students who sold marijuana at their high schools.

But Laboy said the police operation worked more like entrapment, according to his interview with This American Life.

He fell hard for the officer who targeted him. He sang for her and make up raps. Danced for her in front of his class.

And she was absolutely convincing as a high school student -- she handed in her homework late and often fell asleep in class.

Then, one day, she asked him to get her marijuana. He said he didn't smoke or use drugs.

But at this point, he says, he would have done anything for her.

'I'm really trying my hardest to get it but I can't get it. But I'm trying because I like the girl, you know?' he told This American Life.

She kept asking for them. He kept saying he needed more time.

When he finally brought a baggy a pot to school and put it in her purse, he says they fought over whether she should pay it for it.

He eventually accepted the money -- $25, according to This American Life.

When cops arrested him and said he had sold marijuana to an undercover officer, he realized it was his prom date who must have been the one to sell him out.

He thought: 'Oh my God, this is so mean. This is so messed up. How can she do this?'

The officer, who refused to give her name to This American Life, said Laboy was the one who offered to get her drugs -- and that he took the payment without being asked.

She wouldn't comment on any relationship she might have had with Laboy but says she never agreed to be his prom date.

And she doesn't regret what she did, either.

'This gets them to wake up. They need to realize they can't be doing this,' she told the radio show.

Baiting testosterone filled teenage boys, using attractive twenty year old female undercovers, talk about having a major upper hand in that sting, Christ.

Such a fine upstanding citizen with aspirations of an Air Force career should've known that selling pot is a bad idea, no matter how pretty the girl.

I see your point, but it says he didn't want to accept any money... it's just a kid that was in awe a hot chick took such an interest in him.

Of course he says that...he got caught.

Maybe it's just me, but if someone started begging me for pot I'd tell them to go pound sand. Then again, I'm not fond of criminal endeavors to impress the ladies...

When they find the 100 kilos he has stashed in his mansion, he is going to be in real trouble.

CBS story with video

PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. -- An undercover investigation in local schools comes to a close with the arrest of nearly 30 high school students. Undercover school police officers posed as students at Royal Palm Beach, Jupiter, and Park Vista High school in Boynton Beach to find out who was selling drugs on campus.
Little did students and teachers know there were police officers among them for most of the year. Attending classes and even doing homework assignments to find out who was dealing drugs in school. It's all part of Operation D-minus, at least the second time since 2005 police officers have infiltrated Palm Beach County schools during an undercover drug sting.
30 people including 28 students were arrested, most are charged with the sale of marijuana within 1,000 feet of a school. All of the students arrested face expulsion. School Police Chief Jim Kelly says the investigation is ongoing and more arrests are expected.
More than a dozen of the students charged are adults including Joseph Warnes an 11th grader from Jupiter High school, Jose Fernandez, Joshua Tabraue, Moses Mitchell all from Royal Palm Beach High and Justin Laboy a senior at Park Vista in Boynton Beach.
Palm Beach County school district has a policy that if students are caught selling drugs on school property there is a mandatory reccomendation for expulsion. All the students have been removed from school and offered alternative education.

He should have known better. Schools are so zero tolerant these days, you can't take any chances. It doesn't even matter what's right or fair or whatever, you're just taking a big chance if you mess around with drugs and alcohol on school grounds.

If what he is saying is true, that should be entrapment. How many young teenage males have done stupid things to impress pretty girls? Yeah.

Besides, weed being illegal is bullshit anyways.

Ohhh I feel so much safer knowing that this kid was brought to justice :rolleyes:

Honestly, the police can go fuck themselves on this one. Such an utter waste of tax payer money. Also fuck the asinine laws that allow it to happen.

Explain.

I guarantee the UC officer didn't get paid any more to make drug busts than if she didn't.

The war on drugs is a huge expenditure for the country and the benefactors of that money are police forces and the industries that supply them all around the country.

Infact I bet if you look at any advocate for the war on drugs you will find someone that works in the law enforcement industry. And make no mistake, it IS a industry.

Police departments are not for profit. Yes, it costs money to do stuff. However, your implication that I personally profited is ludicrous. I made the same amount of money regardless of what I did - making MJ legal would've, if anything, made life easier because I wouldn't have had to waste time on shit cases that were going nowhere.

It only makes sense that LE would advocate against drugs..because they're illegal, and LE enforces laws. It's really not much of a disconnect.

There are more police officers because of the war on drugs. You said yourself you would have less to do i.e. less cops. Also all the industries that supply you are FOR profit.

Why should LE attempt to shape public policy? Enforce the laws but if the people dont want mj to be criminal then we should have the right to change the laws without resistance from the police and the LE industries.
