Man dials police cell phone in search of drugs
LINCOLNTON, N.C. (AP) -- A Lincolnton man got what he might consider a bad connection on his cell phone.
Narcotics detective Rick Lynn took a call, and the caller asked who he was. Lynn asked the same question of the caller, who identified himself. When Lynn asked what the caller wanted, the caller gave the slang for a 50-dollar rock of crack cocaine. Lynn told the caller he was on his way.
Lynn and two officers went to the house and knocked on the door. Someone on the other side asked who was knocking and Lynn said, "It's me."
The door opened and the officers identified themselves, telling the man he'd called the police to order drugs. Lynn says it has to be one of the funniest things that's ever happened to him in his career.
Mark Lewis and Lori Dale Brooks each are charged with one count of attempted possession of cocaine.
Lynn says his cell number was stored in Lewis' phone because a police informant had used it earlier to try to set up a buy.

Did you read the one about the crackheads who broke into an old woman's home, saw a 'vase' on the mantlepiece labelled 'Charlie' and were in the process of snorting its contents when the police rocked up?
It was the urn containing the ashes of the homeowners dog, Charlie.
Could be an urban myth... hilarious nonetheless
