A note warning people about snitches, though not the Quidditch variety, led police to discover that the owner of the residence was dealing drugs.
Deputies for the Fayette County Sheriff's Department responded to a joyriding complaint at a residence in Oak Hill, West Virginia at approximately 10:15 a.m. on Thursday. When the deputies approached the residence, they took note of a bright pink sign posted on the front door, warning that everyone entering the home is subject to arrest "due to snitches."
"Due to snitches everyone entering my home is subject to being searched," the note reads. "All cell phones and drinks will be left outside!! If you're not a snitch, it won't offend you if I search you!" Displaying for all the world to see that someone's got something to hide.
The note led deputies to believe drugs were being trafficked in at the residence.
"In addition to conducting their investigation into the joyriding complaint, deputies questioned the occupants about drug sales and obtained consent to search the residence," the department wrote on Facebook. "This search resulted in the seizure of quantities of both heroin and methamphetamine, as well as various other unknown substances that were believed to be narcotics."
The homeowner, April Lynn Lavender, 38, was read her rights and charged with the felony offense of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. Lavender was remanded to the Southern Regional Jail in lieu of $10,000 bond. "How the **** did you ever figure it out, fuzz?"
Kristie Weis, 22, was given matching bracelets and charged with the misdemeanor offense of joyriding, and was also checked in at the Gray-Bar Hotel in lieu of $1,500 bond.
"While drug investigations often require a great deal of time and effort, sometimes the criminals make our job pretty easy," said Sheriff Kessler. "If someone posts a sign on their front door about searching 'snitches,' it's a pretty safe bet that there are illegal drugs being sold out of that location."

[AnNahar] A leader of a former rebel group in northern Mali was killed Saturday by a mine kaboom in Kidal in the country's north, military and ex-rebel sources said.
Cheikh Ag Aoussa's car "was hit by a mine and he was struck down in his prime" after he left the office of the U.N.'s MINUSMA mission, according to an African military source who is part of the deployment.
"He was attending a meeting, then as he went to go home he was accidentally killed," the source added.
The former rebel Coordination of Azawad Movements (CMA), which controls Kidal, confirmed his death and called for an "independent inquiry."
"Among the theories, there is that of an attack and a boom-mobileing," CMA member Mohammed Ag Oussene told AFP.
An official in Kidal also said Aoussa was killed by a mine.
A Tuareg from the Ifoghas tribe, Aoussa was the number two in the High Council for the Unity of Azawad (HCUA), one of a myriad of gangs in northern Mali.
The HCUA was formed mainly by dissident elements of al-Qaeda-linked Ansar Dine ...a mainly Tuareg group that controlled areas of Mali's northern desert together with Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and MUJAO in early 2012... , one of the jihadist groups that occupied parts of northern Mali in 2012, throwing the country into chaos.
Aoussa had joined Ansar Dine as the rebellion broke out and served as right-hand man to its leader Iyad Ag Ghaly.
He broke away in 2013 -- just after the French-led intervention to halt the jihadists' onslaught -- to join a different group that would later become the HCUA.
Mali last year concluded a peace deal between the government, its armed proxies, and Tuareg-led rebels who have launched several uprisings since the 1960s. The deal's implementation has been patchy.
Kidal has been rocked by deadly fighting for control between gangs which were party to the peace deal.
The fresh unrest has sparked international concern, with U.N. Secretary General the ephemeral Ban Ki-moon saying in a report published this week that the pro-government groups and former rebels involved in the festivities should potentially face sanctions.
The report warned of serious failings in the U.N.'s mission in Mali as it loses vital equipment and faces a rising threat from Lion of Islams.
The ongoing international military intervention that began in January 2013 has driven Islamist fighters away from the major urban centers they had briefly controlled, but large tracts of Mali are still not controlled by domestic or foreign troops.

"Did u know President @billclinton and I worked together to bring the Traumatic Brain Injury Act into reality." Was this before or after Hillary had her brain concussion?
