People call 911 for many reasons. But when one Anderson County man dialed for help, his request was a little odd.
It’s not everyday someone calls 911 and says, “Hey, can you take me to jail.”
That’s exactly what Justin Ransdell did.
“I want to do the right thing in life,” Ransdell said.
So on Halloween, the confessed drug addict says he tried to right some wrongs.
The 22-year-old, already given a break by a judge for other drug convictions, dialed 911 asking for a ride to jail.

“I think it was a very good decision on my part to call and turn myself in, because me out there, me on the streets doing what I do best, messing thing up, getting high… I would have caught another charge,” Ransdell said.
Ransdell admits to doing meth last Thursday. But while he says he’s ready to face the consequences of breaking the rules of his earlier release, Ransdell doesn’t think jail is the best option for him.
“I’m sitting back here listening to people talk about getting high, how to get high, new ways to get high. I don’t need that,” he said.
He wants to go to rehab, instead. He’s been there once before this time last year, but claims now he’s ready to change.
“I know I need help, I got a drug problem,” Ransdell said.
Ransdell faces a judge Nov. 25 when he’ll find out if extended jail time is in his future for violating the terms of his release.
