Deputy sheriff Jagger Naves was phoned at 4am by a woman wanting to buy drugs.

She mistook his number for that of a local drug dealer in the US state of North Carolina, as there was just one number's difference between their phone numbers, the Salisbury Post reports.

According to a Sheriff's office report, the woman shouted down the phone: "This isn't even a $10 rock. You need to make this right!"

Naves, a member of the Sheriff's Office Aggressive Criminal Enforcement team, then arranged to meet with the caller and a friend in a car park, posing as the drug dealer.

Both were arrested and later charged with felony possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia. The caller was later identified as Sandra Davis and her friend Henry Cloer.

However, at the scene of the arrest, Davis's phone began ringing with the drug dealer's number.

This led them to dealer Jermiere Walker, and his passenger Pamela Henderson who were in possession of three crack cocaine rocks.

Walker and Henderson were arrested and later charged with felony possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia.
