Scott and SadieIn a move that redefines stupidity, 30-year-old Jordan McCourt-Knight managed to lose a bag stuffed with $25,000 to $50,000 worth of ketamine on a train and then had the brilliant idea to report it missing to train station staff. Because, you know, when you misplace your illegal drugs, the logical step is to involve authorities.
Upon his arrest, officers found McCourt-Knight in possession of more drugs, over $2,400 in cash, and an “Encro device”—a fancy encrypted phone used by criminals who think they’re smarter than they are. Turns out, this device was his undoing, leading police straight to his partner in crime, Harley Hall, and unraveling their entire operation.
McCourt-Knight was sentenced to six years and three months in prison, while Hall received five years and ten months. Detective Sergeant Dan Murdoch summed it up perfectly: “His boastfulness was short-lived, as, through one careless mistake, McCourt-Knight single-handedly helped bring down the drugs ring.”
