In a hyper-vigilant fight against drugs, a Lakewood man dialed 911 on Sunday evening to report there was a man dealing at a busy intersection. But he realized, midway through the call, that he may not have all his information correct.

The call details showed up in the Lakewood police blotter, and included the dispatcher's fantastic narrative: "MALE STANDING ON THE CORNER IN A WHITE T SHIRT - THINKS HE MIGHT BE DEALING DRUGS / CALLER ASKED TO DISREGARD AND SAID IT WAS NOT A PERSON AND IT WAS JUST A SIGN THAT HE WAS SEEING."

Scene obtained the audio from that call this morning and, yup, it's exactly as it was described.

That's not a person, I don't know what my son's doing up there."

Here's a transcription of the call:
