Dumb Criminal: Drug Buyer Calls Police When Dealer Won't Sell

When a buyer can't get a drug dealer to sell him marijuana, he calls police, saying he'd been robbed.

recently received a “robbery” call in which the caller (oddly) didn’t want to have the officer respond, but only wanted a return phone call.

Officer Swaner found out after talking with the caller that the incident was essentially a marijuana deal in which the seller wouldn’t sell to the caller because he owed the subject money from previous drug deals.

Incredibly, the caller (buyer of the illicit substance) was trying to get the seller in trouble with the police by reporting the “robbery”.
