A Stone County, Missouri, Sheriff’s Office social media post reports a man has been arrested after posting an item for sale and not realizing the picture included a bag of meth and a syringe on a coffee table in the background.

Hometown Radio in Branson reports Sheriff Doug Rader says in the post he was contacted by someone who saw the picture, which eventually led to a search warrant being issued and the man being arrested. Rader says officers found a pistol, as well as 48 grams of meth in the man’s possession.

The Stone County Sheriff’s Office website lists the arrested man as 38-year-old James Kertz who remains in the Stone County Jail on drug charges.
