"Hello, 911? I'm afraid for my life, two men with guns are standing across the street staring at me and I think they're going to rob me. Wait one second, please hold on while I sell some heroin. Sir, would you like to purchase some heroin? You want lots of heroin? Yes, I have lots of heroin to sell you. Thank you for using me for all your heroin purchasing needs. Okay, 911 operator, I'm back - can you send the police? Those two guys are still here."

(Story from 2009, but it's new to me, and so it is Guess The State!)

Also it was cocaine, not heroin, according to El Article-o.

Hehehe love this comment

"Geez, I need to get out more. I thought a 10-pack referred to Juicy Fruit (do I even want to ask what that means in street lingo?)"


Hhahaha

'A voice can be heard on the recording of the call saying: "What you need? A 10-pack? You need a 10-pack? All right." Police say "10-pack" is slang for a bundle of heroin.'

They found him with cocaine. They recorded him selling heroin. (It's possible he had both but sold all the heroin before the cops got there, and it's possible the cops are just wrong and a 10-pack is cocaine on that corner. But the 911 operator? Heard "heroin")

Well, he was already stupid, given what he did on the call. Maybe he couldn't tell the difference.

Possible!

(I'm suddenly reminded of Herc from The Wire, and his monologue on how some kind of affirmative action is needed for white drug dealers because they're so damn lousy at it and way, way, way too easy to catch.)

Even drug dealers need to feel safe.

Yeah. I mean, sure, nail this doofus, right, but I hope that the cops also dealt with the guys with guns.
