According to the Orlando Sentinel, Jasper Harrison was in the storage unit when he heard a helicopter hovering over the area in Edgewater, Florida.
Worried that he'd soon be arrested, he called 911.
"I'm the guy they're looking for," he told the dispatcher.
As it turned out, police weren't in the area looking for Harrison.
Instead, they were there investigating the suspicious but unrelated death of a man on the same street.
The helicopter Harrison heard while in the storage unit was that of a television station reporting on the suspicious death, police say.
When they responded to the storage unit, police found marijuana growing inside it.
He now faces charges of cultivating cannabis within 1,000 feet of a school, and possession with intent to sell.
He was released from jail on bond.
