A German teenager set himself up for an easy arrest when he offered to sell marijuana to guests at a party full of off-duty policemen, police from the northern town of Eschwege said on Tuesday.
“He told people at the party he had cannabis if they wanted to smoke something a bit stronger,” said a police spokesman.
A pair of police officers celebrating the birthday of a colleague led the man to an area away from the festivities before making the arrest.
“Police have a private life too. The poor guy picked the wrong customers that night,” the spokesman added.
The 17-year-old and two friends had crashed the party at a sports club on Friday night. He was not identified.
