DUMB CRIMINAL OF THE WEEK: BUM CALLS THE COPS

by Hazed

You know how it is. You put your phone in your pocket and then some part of your anatomy starts to dial random numbers and without you realizing it your phone ends up making a call.

This phenomenon is so common it has a name: butt dialling. It can cause embarrassment. But for one man it lead to his arrest.

Justin Kryzanowski, a 24-year-old man from Pennsylvania, was involved in a drug deal when he accidentally butt dialled. But the number his phone called up without his knowledge was... 911. And so the police got to listen in on the deal.

The cops traced the call back to Justin’s home, and went to visit. There they found him somewhat the worse for wear, having sampled the substances he had purchased. They also found some drugs, a range of drug paraphernalia, and illegal weapons. He’s been charged with possession of all those things.

Next time, Justin, invest in a cell phone that has a lock!
