An accused drug dealer was nabbed for trying to sell cocaine -- on the Internet.

Police said that Tyrone Burgo, 20, of Brockton, posted an online advertisement for cocaine. The ad also included a 
phone number.

Officers called the number on Friday and arranged to meet Burgo Friday night near City Hall.

Police said an undercover officer bought cocaine from Burgo. He was quickly arrested.

Burgo is scheduled to be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court on Monday morning.
