MCMINNVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Warren County authorities arrested a man they say misdialed and ordered marijuana from a sheriff's deputy.

Sheriff Jackie Matheny said Deputy Jason Rowland was off duty when his cell phone rang and the voice on the other end asked if he had any "smoke." Rowland played along and the caller ordered $40 worth of marijuana.

Rowland told the caller to meet him behind a shopping mall later on Thursday, then he called investigators.

The alleged buyer showed up and police charged him with solicitation of drug sales and DUI.
