Paranoid marijuana smugglers think they're being followed and call 911 to give themselves up
A pair of US marijuana smugglers broke the golden rule of drug dealing when they got high on their own supply and became so paranoid they thought the cops were onto them and called 911 to give themselves up.
Leland Ayala-Doliente, 22, and Holland Sward, 23, were making the approximately 1400km drive from Las Vegas to Bozeman, Montana in January last year when paranoia got the better of them shortly after crossing the Idaho border, East Idaho News reports.
In a scenario straight out of a stoner movie the baked bandits became convinced police cars were following them and in their paranoid but peaceful state pulled over to accept their fate.
They waited in vain for the police to swoop on them but the 'officers' failed to make their move.
Still convinced their scheme had been foiled they got out of the car and even tried to wave the 'police' down.
When that too failed the pair still didn't harbour the slightest suspicion that they had perhaps imagined the scenario and called 911 to do the authorities' job for them.
In just released audio of the 911 call Ayala-Doliente identifies himself and his partner in crime as "two dumb asses".
"Hi, uh, we’re the two dumb asses that got caught trying to bring some stuff through your border and all your cops are just driving around us like a bunch of jack wagons and I'd just like for you guys to end it. If you could help me out with that, we would like to just get on with it," he said.
"You got caught doing what?," the officer replied.
"Ahh… okay. Um… We kind of got spooked here trying to bring some stuff across your Idaho border. And, yeah. A bunch of your cops driving around in a bunch of civilian cars not wanting to pick us up. I don't know what’s the deal. I was just wondering if you could help us out and just end it."
The bemused officer reluctantly obliged even sharing a giggle with the world's worst drug smuggler as he said he wasn't armed but was packing some snacks.
When the real police did arrive on the scene they found more than 9kg of marijuana in the men's car.
They were both charged with trafficking marijuana.
In June, Sward pleaded guilty to possession with intent to deliver and was was given a five-year jail sentence.
However, District Judge Greg Moeller suspended the judgment and placed Sward on probation for five years and ordered him to serve 30 days in jail.
Ayala-Doliente was sentenced to one and a half to eight years in prison in November last year. Ayala-Doliente received a much harsher sentence than Sward after he tested positive for marijuana, cocaine and oxycodone on his sentencing day.
