Grant O’Connor, 25, was charged with simple possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Authorities say the pocket-dialing druggie got himself arrested after his cellphone turned informant.
When the dispatchers heard the man having a conversation about drugs, getting high and going to a drug dealer's house they decided to trace the call.
According to authorities, an officer located the suspect in a vehicle that was coming out of a restaurant parking lot. The officer asked dispatchers to call the number back but they couldn't get through.

The police officer told the driver about the emergency call, and O’Connor said he had accidentally dialed 911. According to the officer, the driver agreed to allow the officer to search the car, not knowing about the drugs inside.
The officer searched the car and discovered a bag of marijuana and drug paraphernalia underneath O'Connor's seat. O'Connor admitted to the officer the drugs were all his and the driver wasn't aware he had them in the car.
"This is a first for me," said Mount Pleasant Police Chief Michael Hay. "Most phones lock now. I don't know what was wrong with his phone, but it worked out for us in the end."
O’Connor was arrested and later released on $3,500 bond. The driver was not charged.
