[NARRATOR]

Justin would later find out it's a felony in Florida to sell marijuana. And the penalty is even harsher for selling it on school property. In other words, Justin had made an irreversibly bad decision. And since he was over 18, he was legally an adult when he made it

[NAOMI]

Seriously, these kids need to learn there are consequences in life. I am doing my job. I am doing it right. I am making life safer one school at a time

[NARRATOR]

In May, the police arrested 31 students at several schools. Justin was one of them

[COP]

Freeze! You have the right to remain silent

[STUDENTS]

Everybody who sold drugs to undercover cops is busted

Everybody who sold drugs to undercover cops is busted

Everybody who sold drugs to undercover cops is busted

Everybody who sold drugs to undercover cops is busted

[NARRATOR]

He spent a week in jail wondering what would happen next

[STUDENTS]

It's your word against hers. The cops have every text. The cops have every text. The cops have every text. "Don't worry, girl. I got the stuff, I got you."

[NARRATOR]

He knew he'd lose in court. He had to take a plea

[JUSTIN]

Three years' probation. I plead guilty to the felony

[STUDENTS]

What? A felony? A nickel bag's a felony? What? Justin, say goodbye to college, they got you

[NAOMI]

These kids need to wake up. I don't want to go too much into it, but drugs hit really close to home for me. I saw the effects of growing up of cocaine, and marijuana, and ecstasy

[NARRATOR]

With family members?

[NAOMI]

Yes. I've seen what it can do to a family. That's all I want to say about it

[NARRATOR]

Do you wish someone like you had done this type of work?

[NAOMI]

Yes. And I hope someone like me keeps doing it. Still, there are kids you remember, the ones that you'll think about after you're gone

[NARRATOR]

During the week he spent in jail, Justin couldn't help but think about Naomi

[JUSTIN]

She was a light-skinneded Puerto Rican-Dominican, long hair, mature in the body like whoa. That's not the only reason I liked her, though. Yo, if it had been a guy that came up to me asking me for drugs, I would've been like, "No, get out of my face." I don't hang out with people like that. It's cause it was her

[NARRATOR]

Have you talked to her since all of this happened?

[JUSTIN]

No. I would love to. I would love to have that conversation

[NARRATOR]

What do you think you would say?

[JUSTIN]

I would say, what the heck did you do? What the heck did you do? Naomi? What the heck did you do?
