Published in Weird News
DELTONA, Fla. (UPI) -- An accidental call to 911 led to three people in Deltona, Fla., being arrested for allegedly making methamphetamine.
According to Volusia County Sheriff's Office deputies, a 911 dispatcher took the call at 12:31 Saturday morning.
When the dispatcher answered, no one replied, but voices could be heard on the other end.
Investigators said the call-taker heard those voices talking about drugs.
The dispatcher left the call open for 28 minutes, relaying what was heard to deputies responding to the scene.
Using cellphone locator information, the call was tracked and the sound of voices traced to the back yard.
Deputies said they saw meth-making materials when they peered in through an open window. They also said there was smoke billowing out of the shed, which they said was a sign of active meth cooking.
The suspects were identified as 55-year-old Donna Knope, 32-year-old Jason Knope and 41-year-old Thomas Stallings. All three were charged with manufacture of methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell or deliver.
