PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Manton man who advertised his alleged drug business on Facebook as "IPlead ThePiff" was shot, along with his mother, late Sunday night.

Darren Main, 20, and his mother, Melody Main, 45, told police they were shot around 11 p.m. while driving by people outside 67 Middle Drive.

The Mains sped to Rhode Island Hospital, where both were treated for gunshot wounds, according to a police report.

Darren Main is out on bail on charges of drug-dealing and carrying a firearm.

Providence police arrested Main in January after he allegedly sold drugs to a detective, who responded to Main's drug dealing offers posted on Facebook.

Main's Facebook page showed him with guns and marijuana, with the message: "Hit me upppppp! I deliver."
