"Pocket dialing" 911 does in another drug suspect, this time in Georgia

(CBS/AP) GAINESVILLE, Ga. - Authorities say a Georgia man "pocket-dialed" 911 and the dispatcher on the other end overheard people discussing a drug deal.

Hall County sheriff's Col. Jeff Strickland says when the phone rang around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, the dispatcher who picked up heard talk of a prescription narcotics deal.

Authorities say a deputy was sent to a Waffle House in Gainesville, Ga. where the call originated. Strickland says it turned out the cell phone in question was in an employee's pocket.

Authorities say they confronted the 18-year-old Sugar Hill man and found that he had hydrocodone and alprazolam tablets, and charged him with drug possession.
