A Mississippi officer decided to have some fun after someone inadvertently texted him about "smoking."

The Gulfport Police department shared a text exchange between a person believed to have been chatting with a friend, but instead it was an officer. 

The conversation started with the unidentified person shortly after 10 p.m. local time last week. 

Person: Yo

Officer: Sup

Person: Wyd (What are you doing?)

Officer: Chillin hbu (How about you?)

Person: Wanna smoke

Officer: Smoke?

Person: I got some *fire emoji* *gas pump emoji*

Officer: I don't think I'll be able to smoke with you

Person: Bruh we smoke all the time

Officer: I think you have the wrong number

Person: Bruh stop cappin

Officer: *sends selfie holding a police badge* No cap

According to Urban Dictionary, "cappin" means to say something that isn't true. 

The person didn't reply to the officer's selfie. The department did not share the person's number., 

"Pro tip: Before you send the text, double-check the number," the department said in a Facebook post. "Nothing like a wrong number text to really spice up someone's day."
