911 operator sentenced to 10 days in jail for hanging up on emergency calls

A former 911 operator has been sentenced to 10 days in jail and 18 months probation for hanging up on emergency calls.

According to authorities, 44-year-old Crenshanda Williams systematically hung up on citizens trying to report emergencies.

A jury found her guilty of interference with emergency telephone calls.

"The citizens of Harris County rely on 911 operators to dispatch help in their time of need," Assistant District Attorney Lauren Reeder said in a statement. "When a public servant betrays the community's trust and breaks the law, we have a responsibility to hold them criminally accountable."

In 2016, Jim Moten said he called 911 after witnessing two vehicles speeding down Highway 45 and seconds into his call, it dropped, or so he thought.

"Come to find out I was hung up on," he said.

Court documents said Williams was the 911 operator that took Moten's call. The documents said before he could finish explaining she hung up and said, "Ain't nobody got time for this. For real."

"If someone calls in to report an incident whether the person feels this is an emergency or not you should have time for it," he said.

Charging documents said she had an abnormally large number of "short calls" no more than 20 seconds.

"This is a person that probably doesn't need this job," Moten told ABC13.

Documents also stated, "thousands of short calls have been attributed to the defendant from October 2015 through March 2016."

of course she hung up. It was her boyfriend(s) that were committing the crimes and it was white people calling. White people don’t deserve any help because they is privileged.

THOUANDS of short calls. She hung up thousands of times on thousands of 9-1-1 calls before she was finally fired. Incredible!

She will soon be a TSA agent, so enjoy the pat downs.

“Ain’t nobody got time for this. For real.”

It’s really not funny and I’m glad this woman is being punished, but that cracked me up.

“Did you know I was on my break?”

My hubby once was serving a subpoena for a law firm. When you do that you are supposed to write a brief description of who you gave it to, and when he called the office to give the info to the secretary she asked could he call back because she was on lunch. They are both white, btw and were pretty much friends, but she couldn’t be bothered. He was so annoyed!

Ten days is a joke. Two or three years would be closer the mark.

Yes, she looks like the mail carriers that simply dump half their mail and walk around jabbering on cellphones at half the pace of “normals”...
