A pair of Murfreesboro residents are in jail after sending texts to buy drugs to the wrong person.

An anonymous person called police to report they were getting texts on their new cell phone number about purchasing drugs. When authorities arrived, they found messages about purchasing meth, or "ice cream" in the text. When asked "how much," a text of $140 per gram" was sent back.
