Florida Mom And Son Butt-Dial 911 From Their Alleged Meth Lab
Three people in Florida were arrested after butt-dialing 911 over the weekend, a call which led Volusia County deputies to an active meth lab in Deltona.
According to News 13, the dispatcher who fielded the call at 12:31 a.m. Saturday started the phone call with the standard greeting: “911, where’s your emergency?”

When no one responded, the dispatcher stayed on the line after hearing voices on the other end of the phone.
She began to hear a discussion about drugs on the other end. She continued to listen for about 28 minutes while relaying what she was hearing to responding deputies.
News 13 reports:
At one point, the dispatcher noted that she could hear a bubbling sound as if something was cooking, deputies said.
Using cell phone location data, deputies were dispatched to 3281 Roland Drive. Deputies then traced the sound of the voices to a shed in the backyard. They peered through an open window in the shed and saw meth-making materials, deputies said.
Deputies reported they saw smoke billowing out of the shed, which likely indicated an active meth cook.
Deputies secured the three occupants and removed them from the shed for safety reasons while the Sheriff’s Office’s Clandestine Laboratory Response Team was dispatched to the scene to dismantle the meth lab. Narcotics agents also were dispatched to the shed to assist in the investigation.
The search of the shed turned up all of the makings of an active meth lab, including coffee filters, a butane torch, batteries, drain opener, plastic tubing, hypodermic needles, lithium strips, lighter fluid, plastic bags and numerous plastic bottles containing a white substance.
The three people who were arrested included two people who live at the house where the shed was located: Donna Knope, 55, and Jason Knope, 32. Thomas Stallings, 41, who lives elsewhere in Deltona, was also arrested.
According to Gawker, Donna and Jason are mother and son.The alleged meth lab workers were charged with manufacture of methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell or deliver.
Thomas was also charged with violating probation in connection to a prior robbery conviction.[su_csky_ad]

I’ve often wondered if the Meth comedy “Breaking Bad” is a bad career influence on dim people? The AMC series was just nominated for 16 Daytime TV Emmy awards. Why HBO turned down this series. http://www.businessinsider.com/why-hbo-passed-on-breaking-bad-2014-7#ixzz3FVT0ygjg

Only in the same way that any crime show or “Wall St.” with the mythcal Gordon Gecko is inspiration for people.

A great film that we Lefty Wall Street Consultants laughed at back in the day as “Greed is good”-Gecko gets setup, Busted, charged, prosecuted, fined & imprisoned! Ahh those were the days my friend. And we thought they’d never end… Multi-billion dollar Civil fines are all the rage today.

It is a pretty wooden attempt at finance market outrage. Stone is never subtle in his intentions, is he.
Until some of those 2008 crooks go to jail, we will see another crash, and another.

Be grateful Billions in fines were levied & that Cheney pleaded guilty to authorizing $180 M Nigerian Bribes paid by Haliburton. SEC’s largest fines in U.S. history collected $1 B+ from HAL shareholders via Darth Cheney’s Felonies! Cheney in 2016~ Oops
AIG’s founder, CEO Hank Greenberg, his sons & their firms were convicted of ‘Bid Rigging’-round robin payola. These Greenberg’s are all barred for Life from officially serving in any public company.

Yeah, somehow that seems like nothing! Millions of home owners were foreclosed on with phony documents. Millions more are still out of work because those geniuses got too clever about their use of client funds. The insiders got richer, the outsiders got screwed.
No damages have been paid out to those affected. And, damned few insiders have lost their jobs. Of the ones who have, platinum parachutes were awarded to the poor dears for their troubles.

My GOP ‘head of govt compliance’ neighbor got the karma bank boot finally! In an unrelated JPM/Chase London Whale trade debacle:) She stopped delivering to the Govt required daily asset position reporting for 1 month+! Good! Because I’ve never been so insulted during my entire life as when in 2004 I saw Karl Rove Fundraising in and out of my Condo floors hallway. Director Martha Gallo sponsored a post-9/11/01 GOP/RNC fundraiser after those 52+ ignored warnings totaled NYC’s WTC’s in our Battery Park City neighborhood.
Ms. Gallo served as the Co-Chief Compliance Officer and Head of Global Compliance and Regulatory Management at JP Morgan Chase & Co. from November 14, 2011 to January 2013. Until Fired!~ Her replacement Ms. Aimee bolted 1 year later. http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2013/01/25/top-jpmorgan-executive-takes-temporary-leave-amid-reshuffling/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0 Prior to that Ms. Gallo served as the Head of Audit and Executive Vice President of JP Morgan Chase & Co. until November 14, 2011.

Nope, nothing wrong with our regulatory agencies!

Isn’t it touching to see a mother and son happily sharing a family activity together?

Yes, the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in Florida!

What was your first hint?
StoneyCurtisll October 7th, 2014 at 8:41 pm
First hint was FL..
Second was TX..:)

The search of the shed turned up all of the makings of an active meth
lab, including coffee filters, a butane torch, batteries, drain opener,
plastic tubing, hypodermic needles, lithium strips, lighter fluid,
plastic bags and numerous plastic bottles containing a white substance.
Except for the “hypodermic needles” and lithium strips”.. Sound like anything that could be found in any bodies home. (unless they are a diabetic)
The “lithium strips”, I do find a bit suspect..;)

Hold it — I need all of that stuff to make the perfect homemade Café du Monde double cappuccino (and yes, I use real New Orleans Café du Monde coffee). The lithium strips do cut the bitterness! The white stuff is powdered sugar for the requisite Beignet (http://www.cafedumonde.com/beignets). Jeez – at least I’d have an alibi…

I’m going to guess that “butt call” means they sat on their phone and it dialed 911?
Obewon October 7th, 2014 at 8:26 pm
AKA unintentionally pushing random phone buttons. ‘You keep dialing me up, and all I hear is background noise.’ “You a$$hole, I heard what you were saying about me!’ http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=BUTT+DIALING
