Maine man joins long line of people arrested after "pocket dialing" 911

(CBS/AP) BANGOR, Maine - Police say a man wanted for failing to pay fines accidentally helped officers locate him when he repeatedly "pocket dialed" 911 while doing yard work.

Police say 29-year-old James Green was using a backpack leaf blower in Bangor Saturday when he kept calling the emergency number without realizing it.

Police Lt. Jeff Millard says officers were able to determine where the calls were coming from by triangulating the signal from Green's phone.

The Bangor Daily News says there were two active warrants for Green's arrest for failure to pay fines - for what wasn't specified.
