Finally! A good use for MySpace

I am not a drug user or grower but you can bet your ass that if I were I wouldn't be on here bragging about it. I'm just saying.

Police track suspected dealer on MySpace

SUFFOLK, Va. -- A man is facing felony drug distribution charges after an investigation that police said started after his brother used his MySpace Web page to boast of their homegrown marijuana crop and the frequency with which both men use marijuana, police said.

Michael Wayne Pilkerton, 20, of Suffolk was charged after police used an informant to make three marijuana purchases from him in recent months, police said. They said the investigation was launched in March after they learned about the MySpace page.

The page's creator, Jonathan Pilkerton, was not mentioned any further in a search warrant filed in Suffolk Circuit Court detailing the investigation last week.
