STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) - Stamford police say they've arrested a Bridgeport man who posted an ad on the Internet selling high grade marijuana. Police say 24-year-old Steven Zahorsky posted the advertisement on Craigslist.org, boasting about the "A plus" marijuana he had for sale. Stamford police e-mailed the alleged dealer, claiming to be a painting crew interested in buying drugs during a work break. Police say Zahorsky agreed to sell three-quarters of an ounce of marijuana at the Interstate 95 rest area off Exit 13. Police say an undercover officer paid $320 in cash for the drug. Police then arrested Zahorsky. Police say a search of his apartment turned up three bags of marijuana and one bag of hallucinogenic mushrooms.
‘Mary Jane in Fairfield County’ apparently is a little too transparent

STAMFORD, Conn. - If you're looking to sell high-grade marijuana, Craigslist may not be the place to do it. A man learned that the hard way when the "buyer" who contacted him turned out to be an undercover officer, Stamford police said.
Police said Steven Zahorsky, 24, posted an ad for "Mary Jane in Fairfield County." The ad offered a half-ounce of "A plus" marijuana for $220 and the same amount of "B plus" marijuana for $160.
Stamford Lt. Jon Fontneau said officers spotted the ad and responded, claiming to be a painting crew interested in buying drugs during a work break.
Zahorsky allegedly agreed to sell three-quarters of an ounce of marijuana at an Interstate 95 rest stop, Fontneau said.
Police said they arrived Wednesday afternoon and called Zahorsky's cell phone. He answered and agreed to meet at the rest stop McDonald's in 15 minutes.
Zahorsky allegedly stopped at the undercover officer's car and took $320 in cash in exchange for the marijuana, police said.
When Stamford and Darien officers arrested Zahorsky, he claimed he was at the McDonald's to eat and had no idea why police were arresting him, Fontneau said.
He said police found $320 on Zahorsky and the undercover officer's number on his cell phone.
They searched Zahorsky's Bridgeport apartment and found three bags of marijuana and one bag of hallucinogenic mushrooms, along with a shotgun, ammunition and a digital scale, Fontneau said.
Zahorsky was charged with several drug charges and released on $10,000 bond. He is due back in Stamford Superior Court on Feb. 13. No one answered the phone at a number listed for Zahorsky.
