English term or phrase: "One-man crime wave" e "Who dropped the dime on you?"
Um homem foi preso por ter matado um garoto sem querer, em uma briga, onde o garoto estava segurando a arma. Mas o policial que estava presente na cena do crime, escondido, já queria prender o homem. Então ele forjou para acharem que o homem matou o garoto de propósito. Na cadeia a caçadora de recompensas diz pra ele: "Yeah-yeah, you were using us, right, for your one-man crime wave? That is bull."
"Who dropped the dime on you?"

Portuguese translation:"Onda de crimes pessoal" e "quem é que te denunciou?"
Explanation:
drop the dime é gíria para "the act of snitching, ratting, or otherwise disclosing information meant to hurt or discredit someone else. This a play on tips and selling someone out."

Por isso penso que o mais próximo que existe em português será denunciar.

Explanation:
Dedo-durou e cagoetou são gírias de rua, mas expressam bem, creio eu, o tipo de conversação na prisão.
