Unlucky man butt-dials 911 during drug deal, cops say

8/9/2012

When butt-dialing goes wrong: A man in Scranton, Pa., was arrested Wednesday after he accidentally dialed 911 while making a drug deal, police said. Justin Kryzanowski reportedly dialed the Lackawanna County Communications Center while going to meet his dealer, a man named “Rick.” The dispatchers, who were recording the entire transaction, alerted police that some idiot was making a drug deal with an open line to an emergency call center. Police easily tracked Kryzanowski to his apartment, where they found syringes filled with a synthetic opioid, prescription medications and other drug paraphernalia, plus brass knuckles — and the cell phone that led them there.
