Cops: Man puts 911 on hold, makes drug deal
Dispatcher calls back; arrest made after police find cocaine in trousers
CLEVELAND - Police in Cleveland say a man called 911 because he felt he was in danger — then asked the dispatcher to hold on while he made a drug deal.
Police Lt. Thomas Stacho said Tuesday that Alejandro Melendez was arrested after the call and was charged with possessing cocaine.
Police said Melendez called 911 late Saturday and reported that two men with guns were watching him.
Police records show he hung up, so the dispatcher called back.
Melendez answered and asked the dispatcher to hold on, but the dispatcher could still hear what was being said.
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.
The dispatcher called police, who found Melendez at the location he gave, had the dispatcher call his cell phone again, and said they found cocaine in his trousers.
There was no immediate indication Tuesday if Melendez, 20, had an attorney to speak for him.

Cocaine really impares your judgement.
At least Mary-Jane makes you paranoid and not loud and proud the way Charlie does.
C-C-C-C-Coooool, yeah!
