ROWAN COUNTY, N.C. -- This past week across the country, cities and counties honored 911 dispatchers.
While most calls you may expect, dispatchers say every so often there's a weird one.
From kids accidentally calling, to even drug deals gone bad, they've heard them all.
"If they call 911 and they feel, you know, especially when you’re dealing with that it could be an imminent threat so we take it very seriously and send someone,” says Haley Josey.
Josey says they also get a lot of accidental hang-up 911 calls. They say if you do accidentally call 911, stay on the line and just explain you are okay so they don't have to send anyone to your location.
