Suspect ‘pocket dials’ 911 during alleged drug deal in South Hall - Polidicks

[quote=GainesVille Times] [img]http://media.morristechnology.com/mediafilesvr/upload/gainesville/article/2011/05/19/danielmoore.jpg[/img] Talk about a smart phone. This one called police as its owner, now a drug suspect in jail, was involved in an alleged illegal transaction. Hall County 911 got a call about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, but when the operator answered, no one was on the other end of the line. "The dispatcher stated that ... she could overhear several individuals talking about a drug transaction involving prescription narcotics," sheriff's spokesman Col. Jeff Strickland said Thursday. A deputy was sent to the source of the call, a Waffle House restaurant on Lanier Islands Parkway in South Hall. "Once he arrived, he still didn't know who had the phone," Strickland said. When he started talking to restaurant employees, the dispatcher said she could hear the deputy's voice in the 911 call. "The phone was in an employee's pocket," Strickland said. "As the deputy was talking to the employee, the dispatcher could hear the conversation between the deputy and the employee." Authorities then radioed the deputy to let him know he was talking to the suspect. When questioned about his phone, the employee discovered it had somehow "pocket-dialed" 911, Strickland said. After being told the entire conversation regarding the drug transaction had been recorded at 911 Dispatch, the suspect cooperated with the deputy and Strickland said he was found to be in possession of hydrocodone and alprazolam tablets. Police charged Daniel Moore, 18, with possession of the drugs. He is being held in the Hall County Jail. Strickland didn't have other details about the phone, including what kind it was. "This is a first for me for an arrest like that," he said. "For us to record a drug transaction as it transpires, that's a first." District Attorney Lee Darragh said a copy of the 911 recording could not be released since it is part of an open investigation.

How does that happen?

His phone got him arrested because it loved him too much to see him get killed by drugs. [editline]sometimeswheniwatchmylittleponyigethard[/editline] Either that or it was just being a dick.

big brother is watching you

Speed dial perhaps?

Hahaha, what. :v:

I'm pretty sure most phones let you hit 9-1-1 no matter if it's locked or not, so I could see how it happens. Really shitty luck though.

Damn, that's got to be the unluckiest butt-dial ever.

Oh look, a young nonviolent drug user is going to serve prison time and have a record that is going to ruin his life. Justice prevails.

he deserves the death penalty a drug dealer is not WORTHY of being alive :madmax:

Are they sure he wasn't just in a pharmacy?

[QUOTE=Coffee;29947598]Are they sure he wasn't just in a pharmacy?[/QUOTE] Source of the call came from a restaurant. This is one of the reasons why I hate my HTC. The screen is so god damn sensitive that I make so many butt-calls.

my favorite part is where the article implies that he's stupid because he's a drug dealer

I accidentally dialed 911 on my butt before, too. Creepy to get a call from 911 and not know why

[QUOTE=JDK721;29948654]conservatives think anyone who sells or deals drugs = stupid[/QUOTE] That's funny because the neither the article's author nor GaineVille Times showed any bias towards conservatives, and do not indicate or imply that the dealer was stupid because he was a dealer. I myself am conservative, and yet I do not think all drug dealers are stupid. Crawl back into that hole of yours, JDK, and quit your trolling. You look like a fool.

That's Gainesville for you.

Because he is a drug dealer... Im glad he is serving his prison time.

man that guy is unlucky, feel kinda sorry for him.

my phone dialed random numbers in my pocket, probably wasted $30 worth of credit if i add it all up
