Two drug dealers make one big mistake. The men accidentally called 911 during a drug deal.
On the 911 emergency call, a dispatcher said, ":What's the address of your emergency? 911?"
"They can sell it. it's dope, but it's not good dope," The men discussed amongst themselves on the tape.
Two Yukon men mistakenly call emergency responders, while they're counting out illegally obtained pills, marijuana, and ecstasy. The phone remains on inside one of the suspects' pockets for 30 minutes.
"Hello 911?" the dispatcher asked.
"How much of the 'X' do you want? 50....50%?" the suspects said.
Police track the call to a Yukon house and arrest 43-year-old Mark Alan Clair and 42-year-old Shannon McAlister for drug possession with intent to distribute.
Klare Ly, the Community Affairs Specialist with the Yukon Police Department said, "It's weird how we get our cases sometimes but we're happy to take drugs off the street."
Officers estimate that the drugs recovered had a street value of about $20,000.
"I think you can file this under the stupid criminals file," Ly explained.
In total, 514 pills in the form of illegally obtained prescription drugs and ecstacy pills; 70.5 grams of marijuana; and 2.2 grams of a white powdery substance were recovered from the drug bust. Both men are facing multiple felony charges including possession of a CDS; possession of a CDS with intent to distribute; conspiracy to commit a felony; and possession of marijuana. Clair is in the Yukon jail and his bond has been set for $26,000. McAlister bonded out in the amount of $7,500.
