A North Carolina man got busted for trying to pick up women by telling him he was a narco. Turns out that’s illegal!

“Melton admitted that he had told employees that he was an officer,” the release stated. “When asked why, Melton said that he did it to impress the ladies. Melton said that he did not know it was a crime and that he thought it sounded better than telling the ladies that he was a plumber. Melton said that he thought it would help him get the ladies to date him.”

Dude. Plumbers make big money. Tell them you’re a plumber!
