Those Mono County Sheriff’s officers sure are clever. Recently they placed an ad on Craigslist offering Mammoth Mountain lift tickets in exchange for narcotics and ended up nailing six people, according to a story in the OC Register:
Sheriff’s deputies advertised their sting operation on Craigslist.org, offering to sell Mammoth Mountain lift vouchers in exchange for narcotics. . . . The six people from Orange County, San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles came to Mammoth Lakes, gave the agents the drugs and were arrested Friday, officials said. . . . Deputies seized about a pound of marijuana, a fourth of an ounce of cocaine, Ecstasy tablets and prescription medications.
Nice way to drum up some out-of-town revenue for the county. It almost seems too easy.

Mono County doesn’t need out-of-town revenue- they’re one of the only CA counties not being nailed by the ‘recession’.
