As smart phones become commonplace amongst the young and old alike, we continue to get to be entertained by stories of people doing really stupid things with technology. Our latest story comes from Fresno, California where two young men described as “stoners” pocket dialed the Fresno 911 dispatcher. At first the conversation centered on a very strong desire by the young men to “smoke some weed.” The dispatcher probably both amused and curious by these “baked” callers kept listening.
After several minutes, the conversation eventually turned to a different topic. The new topic was a little less amusing but VERY interesting to the dispatcher. The new topic was on the crime that the two were in the process of committing. Yes, another brainiac pocket dialed 911 on his cell phone. Unfortunately for the young men, the call was all the police needed to hone in on them and capture them. Both men were arrested and are being charged with burglary, conspiracy and possession of stolen property. We aren’t sure if the defendants were released on a bail bond, but we do know that they might want to take advantage of their cell phones key lock function in the future.
