911 dispatchers in Salem, Oregon, responded to a man who called to report a break in of his truck, saying the thief had taken his marijuana, among other items.
21-year-old Calvin Hoover was visiting a local tavern when the theft took place. He told 911 dispatchers he returned to his car to find $400 cash, 3/4 ounce of marijuana and his jacket stolen. He says the pot was worth about $180.
Police attempted to respond to the call, heading to the local tavern where Hoover said he was located. They did not find him, but he redialed 911 to ask why the police had not shown up yet. Dispatchers said Hoover was difficult to understand because he was driving while talking and stopping every so often to vomit.
Eventually, police located the car. Hoover was about 100 feet from the vehicle, supposedly trying to track down his missing pot. Police first took down the theft report. They explained Hoover could face criminal charges for possession of marijuana without a prescription as he was telling them about the missing substance.
Hoover was then booked on charges of driving under the influence of intoxicants. Police would not likely have located the man if he hadn't called 911 twice to report his missing drugs.
