Police: Drug Dealer Takes Games as Payment

Teen game aficionado and accused drug dealer Andrew Silva found a way to blend his job and his hobby into one juicy, law-breaking bag of fun.

Socorro (Texas) police say Silva, 16, has set up a rock cocaine business and was trading the crack for electronics, consoles and video games. He was arrested after a customer was tagged for breaking into a home and swiping some consoles and games. She told police she traded the gaming goodies for five rocks of cocaine.

When Silva was arrested he had 52 rocks on him. I wonder if El Paso County Jail lets its inmates play Grand Theft Auto?
