PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- "IPlead ThePiff" posed on his Facebook page with marijuana, money, a delivery guarantee -- and guns.

"I don't talk," he wrote on one photo. "I let my guns sing and if a ... gotta problem. wit it tell em my revolver said it."

A commenter warned him: "Stop putting them picks up. Thats how I got raided."

But IPlead ThePiff -- a 19-year-old gang member named Darren Main Jr. -- didn't listen.

Providence narcotics officers saw the Facebook page and accepted IPlead's 24-hour delivery invitation. This month, Main sold drugs to an undercover detective and talked about buying a gun, the police said.

On Monday, police raided Main's residence at 670 Manton Ave. and seized marijuana and two guns. Main was charged and held without bail.
