Most drugs aren’t designed to make you smarter but one guy in Tennessee managed to get himself arrested in such a way that would make the most drugged out dope head call him an idiot. A man in Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee accidentally alerted the police to his drug stash when he butt-dialed the cops.
Police busted Grant O’Connor, 25, of Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee on drug-related charges that started with a phone call he never knew he made to 911. Dispatchers received a 911 call last Friday and could hear a male and a female voice on the other line. They tried to make contact with the caller but the person on the other hand did not answer back, and the police assumed it was an accidental call.
The authorities were about to hang up when they could hear one of the voices discussing a possible drug deal with a friend. Dispatchers traced the location of the cell phone to a Mexican restaurant where they found the person who made the call and conducted a search of their vehicle. The search turned up a bag of marijuana and some drug paraphernalia under one of the car seats.
Police arrested and charged O’Connor with simple drug possession and drug paraphernalia possession. He was later released from jail after posting his bond. Police at the scene also told him that he accidentally butt-dialed 911, something he never knew about until officers arrived on the scene and arrested him for drug possession. Technically, doesn’t that make his own butt a squealer?
