Cops: Texas man sold pot door-to-door

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (AP) - A 19-year-old Brownsville man is jailed on a drug charge after he allegedly went door-to-door trying to sell marijuana.

A Brownsville police spokesman said Anthony Carrazco's alleged scheme went awry when he knocked on a police officer's apartment door.

Spokesman Jimmy Manrrique said the episode happened Thursday downtown near the University of Texas-Texas Southmost College campus.

He said Carrazco appeared to be intoxicated and allegedly had three ounces of marijuana with him that he tried to sell
door-to-door.

Finally, Carrazco knocked on the off-duty police officer's door. The officer said "he would be right back and went to get his badge and handcuffs."

Manrrique said the officer, whose identity was withheld, also found a handgun hidden on the man.

Carrazco remains in a Cameron County jail with bonds totaling $10,000. No attorney was listed in his booking record.
