ABERDEEN, Wash. (AP) — A wrong-number text message to a Montesano family led to a drug bust in Aberdeen.

The Grays Harbor County sheriff’s office says the family received a message Tuesday night asking if they would like to buy some pills.

KBKW and KXRO report police took over the texting and set up a drug buy for 20 OxyContin pills at an Aberdeen parking lot where officers arrested an 18-year-old from Hoquiam and a 17-year-old from Aberdeen.
