Suspects Arrested After Accidentally Calling 911 During Crime

FRESNO – Two 20-year-old men accidentally called 911 from one of their cell phones while in the middle of a robbery.

Fresno residents Carson Rinehart and Nathan Teklemariam were planning out how they were going to rob a vehicle around 11:30 p.m. on May 9. Unfortunately for these two criminals, one of them accidentally called 911. The dispatcher on the other end of the line only had to listen for a minute to realize they were intending to commit a crime, Fresno police said.

The dispatcher sent a patrol unit out to the location, and continued to listen to the suspects’ conversation. At one point one of the suspects said, “I just want to smoke weed so bad right now,” according to the transcript of the call.

They also spoke about getting “a bolt and hammer just in case,” presumably in their discussion on how they were going to break into the car. The dispatcher heard glass break, which allegedly was due to the suspects breaking into a vehicle through its window.
