North Carolina fugitive arrested after accidentally calling 911

A North Carolina fugitive was arrested Friday night in Lyons, Wayne County, after he accidentally dialed 911.

According to the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, deputies went to check an address on Franklin Street after a 911 hang-up call originated from that location around 8:30 p.m.

There, they found 53-year-old Jesse Graham, who, as it turned out, was wanted by the Mooresville Police Department in North Carolina for "several charges," police said.

Deputies arrested Graham as a "fugitive of justice" and for unlawful possession of marijuana.

Graham was arraigned in town of Galen Court and remanded to the Wayne County Jail without bail while he awaits extradition.
