ORANGE CITY -- Tow truck driver 'butt-dials' 911, heard discussing drug deal

A 19-year-old tow truck driver was pulled over and arrested after Volusia County deputies said his cell phone "butt-dialed" 911 and dispatchers listened in to his conversation with two passengers.

Deputies said Matthew Dollarhide was surprised when a deputy pulled him over and asked why they were talking about selling drugs.

According to our partners at the Daytona Beach News-Journal, deputies were alerted late Tuesday night and sent to a location based on the cell phone's signal.

Dispatchers said they learned based on the conversation they heard over the phone that the three were in a tow truck, and they heard the name "Harry."
