Sometimes, technology can be difficult.

A Georgia man learned that lesson the hard way after he pleaded guilty to cocaine possession this week.

WALB reports law enforcement raided the home of Alvin Cross Jr., after his probation officer received a text.  Cross had accidentally texted his probation officer asking "You have some weed?'

Law enforcement didn't find any weed inside Cross' home.  Instead, Dougherty County deputies tell The Huffington Post they found a bag of cocaine.

Cross had been in prison after being convicted of a 2006 armed robbery.  He will now be returning to prison for another year.
