Staff Report
Sarasota Herald-Tribune

PUNTA GORDA- A 34-year-old man who set up a drug deal with undercover police on MySpace.com was arrested Tuesday, officers said.

James Brian Johnston, of the 500 block of Myrtle Street, was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, a felony. Through the popular networking Web site, Johnston contacted an undercover officer posing as a 20-year-old woman and agreed to meet him at The Pines of Punta Gorda with several marijuana cigarettes, according to a Punta Gorda Police Department arrest report.

When detectives spotted Johnston's red Oldsmobile, they conducted a traffic stop and found one marijuana cigarette inside, the report states. Johnston admitted he was attempting to deliver the drugs.

Johnston was being held at the Charlotte County jail with bail set at $2,500.
