NORTH CHARLESTON, SC (PIX11) -- A South Carolina man called police Friday to report that another man had ripped him off -- for $40 worth of crack cocaine.

Police said Dexter White, 41, called 9-1-1 to report a robbery after visiting his dealer, a man he referred to as “C", who lives across from a halfway house.  “Mr. White stated that he gave “C” $60 cash and that “C” refused to give him his 40 in change,” according to a police statement.

White initially asked the dispatch operator for a K-9 unit, although it was unclear why, partially because he was either speaking very softly or had a bad connection.

Police met White and promptly arrested him for disorderly conduct for loitering where narcotics are used or sold.  He is currently being held at the Charleston County Detention Center.
