What a world.. A man calls the cops for advice and they arrest him :O(

A Connecticut man has been arrested after he rang the police for advice about growing marijuana.

Robert Michelson called 911 to ask how much trouble he might get in for growing the drug.

"I was just growing some marijuana and I was just wondering what, how much, you know, trouble you can get into for one plant," he asked.

When the dispatcher asked if there was an active crime in progress, the 21-year-old answered "possibly".

Police traced the call to Michelson's home in Farmington, where police officers found drug paraphernalia and a small amount of pot.

Michelson admitted he had bought seeds and equipment online for growing. He was released on bail.

Caught in act, thieves call the cops

NEW DELHI: When in trouble, call the police – even if you are a thief. Trapped inside an apartment they were burgling, with a crowd of 250 people waiting outside to teach them a lesson, three thieves decided that getting arrested was better than being lynched. They phoned the cops.

for the authorities, if you're found at the scene of the crime, you will be their first suspect. In this case, since it's illegal to grow weed in any state of America, he was arrested. He was lucky he got released on bail.
