Slick Dude Butt-Dials 911 On His Way To A Drug Deal, Is Promptly Arrested

from the high-crimes dept

This somehow keeps happening. We've covered criminals accidentally butt-dialing the police and discussing their crimes while the authorities listened in, presumably with bemused expressions upon their fortunate faces. Then we talked about it again, proving that really stupid lightning apparently strikes twice. Well, it apparently strikes thrice, because yet another criminal, this one a rather minor ne'er do well, has landed himself in cuffs when his ass-cheeks went rogue and dialed 911.

Mt. Pleasant police say they arrested a man for drugs after he pocket-dialed 911 and dispatchers heard him talking about getting high and going to a drug dealer's house. The call came in to the Maury County 911 Center Friday evening. Dispatchers were able to trace the location of the call to Don Pepe's Mexican Restaurant on North Main Street in Mt. Pleasant.

When police arrived, O'Connor and his friend were already pulling away in a vehicle that had a rear light out and police pulled them over. Inside, officers found marijuana and and some paraphernalia, leading them to charge O'Connor with possession of both. He must have thought these NSA wiretaps had gone entirely too far, until police informed him of the call to 911. He reportedly had no idea the call had ever been made.

Now, while I will say it's starting to feel a bit strange to have police roll a squad car to combat an adult talking about marijuana when that substance's legal status is quickly being relaxed throughout the nation, one wonders if the kind of duncery resulting in a butt dial to police is the result of the drug. If it is, maybe that's an argument that we should all cool it a bit with the weed.
