An Ohio deputy who teaches for the D.A.R.E. program said she arrested a teenager who mistakenly texted her for a drug deal.

Portage County Deputy Kari Scherer, who serves as the county's Drug Abuse Resistance Education officer, said a 16-year-old boy sent her an apparent wrong-number text identifying himself and commenting "that the weed we had smoked the other night was the bomb," WJW-TV, Cleveland, reported Tuesday.

"That's pretty hysterical," Scherer says. "I'm out there to teach drug resistance and here, someone's wanting (to buy) drugs off of me."

Sheriff David Doak instructed Scherer to continue corresponding with the teenager and she set up a buy, where the Portage County Drug Task Force was waiting for the teenager.

Doak said the teenager is facing delinquency charges.
