Some people just can't catch a break...

... or a rock.

From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
Man still wearing jail jumpsuit caught in drug bust

A man recently released from jail couldn't wait to get his hands on some drugs. So he headed to Roosevelt Circle, a notorious drug market in Marietta.

But the dealers weren't real, and neither was the crack cocaine they sold.

They were undercover Marietta cops.

Robert Lafferty was among 20 people arrested Friday, police said, at three hot spots for illegal drug sales: Roosevelt Circle, Allgood Road and the intersection of Allgood and Fairground Street.

Lafferty was the only one dressed for his next stop.

He was still wearing a blue jail jumpsuit.

"His shoestrings weren't even back in his shoes," said Officer Mark Bishop, a Marietta police spokesman.
