Ecstacy at WM

Glenn Reynolds is hot on the trail of marijuana and prostitution at target.com through Amazon. Walmart does Target one better, by outsourcing provision of ecstacy to third-parties in the parking lot:

Macon County Sheriff's Deputy Terry Atkins received reliable information from an informant on Tuesday, November 23, that Mitch Cliburn, age 18, of RBS Road, was transporting ecstasy tablets to the Wal-mart parking lot in Macon County for re-sale to another individual.

Deputy Atkins and Captain Darrell Taylor proceeded in a marked patrol unit to Walmart. Chief Deputy Robin Gregory and Detective Jimmy Hardin proceeded to Walmart also in a marked patrol car....

[Cliburn] was placed under arrest and transported to the Macon County Jail where he was placed on $30,000 bond. He was charged with possession of schedule I narcotic and possession of schedule I narcotic for resale.

At least there's no extra charge for shipping.
