Man arranged Ecstasy deal over snapchat

October 17th,2015

Cook County, Illinois A 24-year-old Oak Lawn man found himself in court on felony charges Saturday after he used Snapchat to arrange to sell 1,000 Ecstasy pills to someone, and the buyer turned out to be an undercover police officer, prosecutors said.
Michael McConville, 24, was arrested Friday after an Illinois State Police officer contacted him Tuesday through the social media platform Snapchat and agreed to buy 1,000 pills of Ecstasy from him at $5.50 a pill, according to Orland Park police reports. The officer also asked to buy two wristbands to the "Freaky Deaky" music/rave festival at Toyota Park in Bridgeview that McConville said he was selling.
The two agreed to meet at a Mariano's at 11000 S. Cicero Ave. in Oak Lawn, according to police reports.
The officer met McConville about 2:15 p.m. Friday in the Mariano's parking lot, according to police reports. After McConville handed the officer a bag of pink Ecstasy pills, the officer signaled that the deal had been made. Other officers approached the car and arrested McConnville.
McConnville told arresting officers that he had a gun with a bullet in the chamber, and police removed a loaded .45-caliber Sig Sauer P220 from his waistband. The gun was reported stolen in the burglary of a Crestwood home in July.
Police searched McConville's Toyota Camry and found a silver, eight-round magazine holding 8 rounds of ammunition, according to police reports.
McConville was charged with armed violence, unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, and unlawful delivery of a controlled substance.
He was ordered held on $100,000 bail Saturday in Cook County Bond Court.
McConville previously has been convicted of felony drug possession and criminal damage to property, according to court records.

Unfortunately, by virtue of the nature of the sale of illegal drugs, his money isn't "real" and can be readily confiscated by the government at will(as it was).
Money earned legally is real.

The money is as real as anything in this world, up until the point that he is caught, in which case it becomes the property of the government. It's real money from start to finish though.
Had the man not been caught, he could have made anywhere from $1,000- $5,000 on the deal. You can buy some very real shit with that.
I'm guessing he was mass marketing on snapchat and added someone who was posing as another individual (AFOAF, likely).
His real slip up was not double checking the account and who vouched the undercover pig. If you always follow the web of trust you have a minuscule chance of getting caught like this.

Selling drugs over social media is not smart. Period.
He should have known that, especially when he was dealing in weight like that.

look at the bigger picture....why do we need to attack each other? It is simply not intelligent.
Is it easier to attack those that are weak.....?
Think about it my friend..

I wasn't attacking him.
If you break the law, it's wise to know the risk involved in doing so.
He should have used common sense.

What do you mean look at the bigger picture.. It's simply not intelligent to sell anything over social media, or even talk about big drug deals over the phone. Period...
It's not easy to attack those who are weak it is just easy to catch them!

Sort of agree. snapchat, by its very nature, lends itself very well to quick hustles with peeps you trust.
But yeah, with 1000 pressed pills, you don't just hit up a new contact with the picture and then go meet them. There has to be more verification of character.

Guns cause 100X more problems then they fix. The only thing I can imagine is that a rat vouched for the undercover cop and set up the deal. No one is dumb enough to do business like that with a total stranger.

He will learn the hard way. His life will be fucked for a very long time and going the route he did is fucking stupid/loser.
Freaky Deaky was amusing for a cop to ask to buy wristbands.
