He knows the dealer is responsible not only for selling drugs to minors, but also recruiting minors to sell for him. None of the prior cases have stuck so Bob is desperate to make a case against the dealer. Bob arrests one of the local juveniles on bogus charges in order to convince him to become an informant because he is related to the suspected drug dealer.
