FEBRUARY 3--Meet Michael Garibay. We're going to give the Orlando, Florida man the benefit of the doubt and assume that he was stoned out of his mind early this morning when he offered to sell cocaine to a prospective customer. Because the buyer Garibay, 34, targeted was a sheriff's deputy. Wearing his uniform. Seated in a marked patrol car. According to a sheriff's report, Garibay parked his Ford Taurus directly behind Deputy Edward Johnson's vehicle around 1 AM. After exiting his car, Garibay began chatting up Johnson through the cruiser's window. Soon, he was asking the patrolman, "Do you want to buy some cocaine?" Johnson, who thought Garibay was kidding, answered, "Yes." Garibay then took out a baggie containing "several pieces of white flat rock substances" and asked the cop if he had money. Johnson exited the police car, seized the baggie, and arrested Garibay. A field test showed the white substance to be cocaine. Garibay was hit with a felony drug possession charge and a misdemeanor drug paraphernalia count. He was booked into the Orange County jail, where the below mug shot was snapped. (3 pages)
