Facts:Diana Prince, a young police officer in Apache Junction, Arizona was assigned to pose as a drug dealing high school student in order to investigate drug trafficking at Central High School.As part of her assignment, she befriended Steve Trevor, who she believed was involved in selling drugs in school.

On January 11th, Diana told Steve, she could get him 100 pills of Happiness, a prescription anti-anxiety drug, for $500.Steve replied, "Awesome!"Steve then gave Diana $500 in cash. On January 15th, Diana gave Steve a bottle containing 100 Happiness pills.The FDA had changed the status of Happiness from a prescription drug to an over-the-counter medication on January 13th, but neither of them were aware of this change on January 15th.

On January 16th, Diana told Steve that if he gave her another $1000, she could get him one ounce of cocaine. Steve replied, "Cool-- I can resell it and make at least $500 in profit!"Steve gave Diana the cash the next day. On January 20th, Diana filled a plastic bag with pure talcum powder, gave this bag of fake "cocaine" to Steve, and said, "Here is the cocaine you ordered...have fun selling it!"

On January 21st, Diana told Steve she would obtain one pound of marijuana from her supplier if Steve could give her $2000. Diana explained that she would resell the marijuana to students for $3000, thereby making a $1000 profit, which she and Steve would split. Steve replied, "Count me in!"The next day, Steve gave Diana $2000 in cash and Diana used the cash to buy a pound of genuine marijuana from a local dealer. On January 25th, Diana showed Steve the marijuana she had purchased and promised to give him $2500 (his investment plus the $500 profit) by January 30th.When Steve replied, "Yeah, baby" Diana arrested him.Steve never touched the marijuana.
