(AP) Police said a 20-year-old man called 911 and put the dispatcher on hold to make a drug deal. Police said man made the call on Saturday night to report that two men with guns were watching him and hung up. The dispatcher called him back, and during the call the man asked the dispatcher to hold on and made a drug deal.
A voice can be heard on the recording saying, “What you need? A 10-pack? A 10-pack, alright.” A 10-pack is slang for a bundle of heroin.
The dispatcher called police, who saw the man crossing a street and found crack cocaine in his pants. The man, who didn’t have identification, was arrested and taken to jail.
A message seeking comment was left Tuesday with a police spokesman.

Police had no trouble identifying two men accused of trying to break into a Carroll apartment. Police were responding to a call about an attempted burglary when they pulled over a car matching the alleged suspects’ vehicle. Inside the car, officers found two men with their faces blackened with permanent marker. Police said the caller described two men with painted faces attempting to break into an apartment Friday night before driving off.
Matthew McNelly, 23, and Joey Miller, 20, were arrested at gunpoint after officers were told they might be armed. Neither man had a weapon. McNelly and Miller were each charged with attempted second-degree burglary. Both men were released after posting bond.
Attorneys for the men declined comment Tuesday.

He wiggled, jiggled and even dropped his trousers, but a thief trying to break into a supermarket in Portugal stayed stuck fast in a tiny window until he was rescued by police and the fire brigade.
“Apparently he dropped his trousers as he was trying to free himself by wiggling,” Capt. Santos, local police chief in Loule in southern Portugal, told Reuters Monday.
He said the slim 22-year-old Romanian man had spent about 11 hours stuck in the window, including the two hours it took police and the fire brigade to get him out Sunday morning.
“Once he got his upper body inside, there was nothing there to find support on, so he was stuck at his waist … It’s not uncommon for thieves to get inside and then not be able to get out after a burglary, but this was quite unusual,” Santos said.
