StatesmanJournal - A 21-year-old Salem man reportedly called 911 to say that his marijuana was missing, but when deputies arrived, he was booked on drunken-driving charges instead, officials said. A man told dispatchers that while he was in the bar, someone broke into his truck, stole $400 cash, a jacket and about 3/4 ounce of marijuana, valued at about $180. About an hour later, the driver called 911 again, angry that deputies had not arrived. Lorance said the dispatcher had difficulty understanding the caller because the driver was driving and stopping several times to vomit. Deputies eventually found the man at 49th Avenue and Fontana Court SE, where he had parked. The man, who was found about 100 feet from his truck, told deputies that he was looking for the people who stole his “weed.”
I got to be honest. I’m starting to kind of get pissed here. I mean how many times do I have to go over this? If your weed gets stolen you call 912. If you can’t talk on your cell phone without puking you call 912. You only call 911 for life threatening emergencies. 912 for everything else. Seriously sometimes I think I’m the only one reading the Stool. Anyway just to make sure we’re all on the same page here is a quick quiz.
