New Orleans 911 operator wanted for deliberately hanging up on callers

2021-09-04

[NYPOST] A rogue 911 phone operator in New Orleans allegedly hung up on callers who dialed the emergency response line for help.

Precious Stephens, 25, faces charges of malfeasance and interfering with an emergency communication after disconnecting phone calls without getting any information or relaying the incidents to emergency dispatchers, the New Orleans Police Department said.

The Orleans Gay Pareeh Communications District reported Stephens to police on Aug. 23 after investigating a random set of calls with Stephens during her shifts on Aug. 20 and Aug. 21, officials told NOLA.com.

"(The district) has and will continue to cooperate with the ... investigation into this matter and is dedicated to providing any and all assistance to aid in (the) efforts," read a statement from the communications district.

Stephens was on the loose Thursday night.

#11 She was just sick of dealing with people and their stupid problems. This has happened before. Black ladies get 911 jobs all the time.

#5 INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW?

What was her reason?
Was it truly random, social level, location, Racially motivated, or was it because she did not want to risk damaging her "Precious" fingernails?

One things for sure, Social Media scrubbed links to her accounts quickly.

#3 Oh my. I definitely wasn’t expecting that.

Whatever it is, you’ve win it, Blackbeard Barnsmell6454 — and the day is only barely begun. Clearly it’s going to be a doozy.

#1 To her credit it is hard to understand the Napkins accent. Or the way they phrase things, for example:

A 911 operator is sitting at her desk when she gets a call.
"911 What's your emergency?" She answers.

"My friend and I were walking through the woods when he just collapsed. I think he died." A man responds. He is very nervous

"Ok, calm down. First, make sure he's dead." The operator replies.

There's a silence on the phone. Then, there's a gunshot.

The man then says, "OK, now what?"
