(CBS/AP) SALISBURY, N.C. - Sheriff's Deputy Jagger Naves of Rowan County, N.C. was a very popular man last Monday when his cell phone rang four separate times around 4 a.m.

The calls came from four different people who mistakenly contacted the deputy to complain about drug purchases.

They all got arrested.

The Salisbury Post reported some of the calls to Deputy Naves complained about the quantity of drugs they had purchased and wanted him to correct the problem.

Naves arranged to meet all four of them to "solve" the problem.
