Undercover Drug Sting Busts 22 Students in Southern California; High School Pot Dealers Learn 21 Jump Street Is Real; How To Tell If Your High School Drug Dealer is an Undercover Cop

Just when you thought it was safe to sell that bag of diesel to the new kid in the bathroom, you find out that everything you learned on TV is real. 21 Jump Street isn't just a TV show. That kid who's been cheating off you for the past year, the one with the nice car who seems to need a shave by third period, he's not what he seems. He's Richard Grieco. He's the real life Johnny Depp and we're not talking about an old rummy pirate. He's stalking the hallways but he's thrown off that safety patrol sash. He's deep undercover.

Undercover cops arrested 22 students at Perris High School and nearby Paloma High School in Menifee in southern California on drugs charges after they spent a whole semester pretending to be teenage high school students. Serina Ramirez, 18, and Erick De La Cruz, 19, and 20 minors were busted on drugs charges last Thursday, three kids who didn't show up for school that day are still at large.

Two deputies, a man and a woman, went deep undercover pretending to be 16 or 17-years old students since the beginning of the school year to find out who's selling drugs in the area. Not even the teachers knew these students were cops.

The undercover narcs seized marijuana, cocaine, crack cocaine, methamphetamine, hashish and various prescription pills.  Lt. Paul Bennett of the local force said most of the drug buys were for small amounts of marijuana.

Riverside Press Enterprise said cops stormed into classrooms with pictures of 25 suspects and then went on handcuff the students in front of the other kids in class.

Now the kids are trying to figure out who the school narc is.

Okay, so, if you're not sure how to keep stay out of cuffs, here are a few tips on how to spot an undercover narc:

He drives a better car than your dad.

The kid who's on the phone with his lawyer talking about his bitchy ex-wife? Probably not a kid.

The cheerleader who's arranging a babysitter to she can go to the opening game or the pep rally? We can't say for sure, but chances are, that's the cop.

If you're changing for gym and one of the kids is wearing a bullet proof vest. Odds are very good that that's your cop.
