Man charged with drunken driving after 911 call about pot theft
|
SALEM, Ore. (AP) -- Oregon police have charged a man with drunk driving after he called 911 to report his marijuana as stolen but the dispatcher couldn’t understand him because he was vomiting while on the road.
Marion County sheriff’s deputies say 21-year-old Calvin Hoover of Salem told dispatchers early Tuesday that someone had broken into his truck and stolen cash, a jacket and a small amount of marijuana while he was at a tavern in Salem.
He then called 911 again to complain that deputies had not arrived, but the dispatcher had trouble understanding Hoover because he was driving and stopping several times to vomit.
He was arrested on charges of driving under the influence of intoxicants.
A Salem phone number listed for a Calvin Hoover had been disconnected.
