Jesus Suarez and Jesus Santos were putting the finishing touches on a crack cocaine sale when one of their cell phones dialed the emergency number. The dispatcher overheard a commotion on the other end and kept the connection until the location could be traced and cops could be sent to the scene.

When the officers were nearby, one of the men was overheard saying, ‘Oh, there goes the cops’ before being taken into custody.

“We have been trying to figure out how to classify it,” said Leavenworth police Chief Patrick Kitchens. “It might be the first case where a person accidentally dialed 911 and got arrested.”
