Drug Dealer Puts 911 Dispatcher On Hold To Sell Drugs

A Cleveland man called 911 because he felt he was in danger � then asked the dispatcher to hold on while he completed a drug deal.

Alejandro Melendez was arrested soon after the call and was charged with possessing cocaine, according to Police Lt. Thomas Stacho.

Police said Melendez called 911 and reported that two men with guns were watching him, but he hung up so the dispatcher called back.

Melendez answered and asked the dispatcher to hold on, but the dispatcher could still hear what was being said.

The dispatcher heard the man saying: "What you need? A 10-pack? You need a 10-pack? All right." '10-pack' being a slang for a bundle of heroin.

So police was sent to the scene, and they found Melendez at the very location he had given earlier with cocaine in his trousers.
