21 accused in NYC of selling meds on Craigslist

NEW YORK – The Craigslist ad offered black-market Percocet pills for sale but warned potential customers: “No LE please.” Meaning: No law enforcement.

Like that made a difference.

The 40-year-old man accused of placing the ad was among 21 people arrested in an attempt by the New York Police Department to make an example of some of the smallest of small-time drug dealers: students, young professionals and others who clean out the medicine cabinet and then offer the pills for up to $20 a pop over the Internet.
