911 operator arrested for hanging up on emergency calls

A Houston 911 operator named Crenshanda Williams has been arrested and charged with interfering with emergency calls after police discovered she was hanging up on people who were calling 911 for help. From CNN:

On March 12, a man identified as Hua Li dialed 911 at 8:10 p.m. to report an armed robbery.

Li had walked into a store that evening to buy lottery tickets. He heard someone yelling that there was a robbery and saw a man with a gun. Li counted five to six gunshots, then got into his car and drove away, as he tried to call for help.

Williams immediately hung up on Li’s first call, according to the charging documents.

A minute later, Li called again, and Williams answered: “Houston 911, do you need medical, police or fire?”
“This is a robbery,” Li responded.

Williams sighed before hanging up on him again, according to the charging documents.

On his third try, Li got a different 911 operator and was able to report the robbery. By the time officers arrived they found the store’s owner dead from gunshot wounds.

KPRC reports that a man who saw his wife collapse in their yard was hung up on by Williams when he called 911 for an ambulance:

911 operator charged after allegedly hanging up on callers “because she did not want to talk”

In another instance, a 911 caller tried to report that people were racing trucks on the highway. As the caller tried to give out his location, Williams hung up on him. After she hung up, Williams said, “Ain’t nobody got time for this. For real.”

Her behavior was discovered after a supervisor noticed she had an unusual number of calls lasting under 20 seconds. She had apparently hung up on emergency callers thousands of times. When confronted by police, Williams admitted she hung up on callers when she didn’t feel like talking to them.

This report by WTHR includes an interview with Hua Li, the man who called in the robbery.

She should be charged with manslaughter. The video indicated that the victim in the robbery died and that her delay in getting help there may have contributed.

And it ain't because of her race. It is because of her decision to become a thug.

She decided to become a dindu nuffin instead of an American.

I may be off base here, but I’ll bet she thinks she’s being picked on now.

I say this, because some Black folks won’t take responsibility for anything.

It’s my supposition that some folks like this have that attitude because they have been told to never back down. If someone is against you it can only be because of “your” race.

There is no common sense for some people, Black or White, but I do think this is more prevalent in the Black community due to a perception problem involving race.

At any rate. This is terrible. I wonder how many people died because her actions increased the response time.

She’s about to get a real education. If they can find cases where she cost a life, she could be looking at a very stiff sentence.

Do we have a picture of Crenshanda? Let me guess?? Pics often reveal a character in some kind of racial safe space. We all know that Africans detest Asians because they work hard, save for the future, and outperform them.

Have you ever heard of affirmative action. So, she’s ok, and Mr Li and the victims in the robbery suffered no stress? Nonsense.

Thank God for Affirmative Action, huh Kreshendo, or whatever your jungle name is ...

She probably can, at least neg homicide if the delay in reporting the robbery led to the man dying.

It would be interesting to analyze area or race of those she hung up on. Was it just whites, asians, hispanics, etc? Or did she hang up on black as well?

“Her behavior was discovered after a supervisor noticed she had an unusual number of calls lasting under 20 seconds.”

WTF? You mean to tell me they don’t have an automated call logging system? Seems to me this b!tch should have been found out on day one! Our government is rife with “Peter Principle Types.”
