Anthony Carrazco, 19, practically arrested himself after he was going door-to-door attempting to sell weed, but he knocked on the wrong door.

Police say Carrazco had a gun, marijuana and went up to a police officer’s front door and asked him if he wanted to buy some weed. They say Carrazco even had his own scale.

Police say it happened in the middle of the night at an apartment complex down More..town near UTB, but they’re not releasing the location to protect the officer.

Residents in the area are getting a good laugh saying it was pretty ridiculous for Carrazco to do such a thing.

Police say the teen was drunk. He tried to sell the officer 3oz before the cop grabbed his badge and placed him under arrest.

The charges are serious, since he was selling by the university – a drug free and weapon free zone.

Police say they do undercover sting operations all the time, but this was unlike anything they’ve dealt with before.

Meet Michelle Rhee, fiance of former NBA star Kevin Johnson.

School Chancellor Michelle Rhee and Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson are officially engaged to be married.

Rhee, 39, confirmed the news Wednesday at a Democrats for Education Reform/DC School Reform Now event in Washington after observers noticed a ring on her left hand. Johnson, 43, is a former NBA star who transitioned into politics as the founder of a charter school. Rhee served on the school’s board before Johnson won his first race last year to become mayor of his home town.

The couple have been longtime friends and political allies. To some, the news of their recent engagement comes as no surprise since the couple have been spotted holding hands at several events together.  The couple have not set a wedding date.

Michelle, a divorced mother of two daughters, is chancellor of the District of Columbia Public Schools system. In 1997 she founded The New Teacher Project (TNTP), which in ten years has recruited 10,000 teachers in twenty states.

She was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, but was raised in Toledo, Ohio. Michelle graduated from Cornell University in 1992 with a bachelor’s degree in government, and earned a Master of Public Policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
