Generation after generation of drug dealers and drug users have had to come up with new ways of moving, pushing, selling and buying narcotics in order to evade ever-more sophisticated police techniques in stopping the drug trade.
And while the idea is that the more complex the plan, the less chance of being caught, sometimes the complexities mean there is more chance of something going wrong.
Which makes me wonder why people don't just go back to basics more often?

If drug dealing was a legitimate job, it'd probably fall in the sales category and so what more basic way of selling something than going door-to-door asking people if they want your product.
In the case of Thomas Avery Glenn, his product (allegedly) was cocaine.
I shit you not, this man apparently went door-to-door trying to sell cocaine to people. Full marks for trying, mate.

The 56-year-old was arrested and charged with possession of meth, possession of cocaine and possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.
He denies trying to sell drugs and claims what he had on him wasn't his and that the door-to-door knocking was because he was looking for, wait for it... tree-trimming work.
A Wyoming woman called police at around 6.30pm, reporting a man had approached her asking if she wanted to get high. Apparently he told her he had cocaine and kept asking her if she wanted to buy drugs from him.
When she told him to get off his property, he simply popped across the road and knocked on a neighbour's front door to do the exact same thing.

After cops arrived, Glenn walked through someone's garden and stopped against the fence. On the other side of the fence was a small paper packet with cocaine and meth inside, according to the police report.
Something tells me this guy isn't going to be found innocent.
Door-to-door drug salesmen, coming to a small Wyoming town near you...
