Top 10 Non-Emergency 911 Calls
Life or death? How about, "Cheeseburger"? TIME takes a look at some recent calls to the 911 emergency hotline that were anything but
On April 21, 2006, Edward Sanchez called 911 with a strange request. It seems the Michigan police officer had pocketed some marijuana seized during an arrest and baked it into pot brownies. He hadn't, however, counted on a drug-induced fit of panic. "I think we're dying," Sanchez told the dispatcher. "We made brownies, and I think we're dead. Time is going by really really really really slow." Sanchez escaped prosecution by offering to resign from the force.
