The 911 dispatcher who took the call of a drowning woman in Fort Smith on Saturday had already resigned before she took the call, Danny Baker, interim police chief, told 40/29 News. Saturday morning was already scheduled to be her last shift.
47-year-old Debra Stevens died when her car was swept away by flood waters. The Fort Smith Police Department released audio files of her 911 call.
In the recording, the dispatcher can be heard telling Stevens to “shut up,” telling her the incident “will teach you” and telling her not to cry. At one point she told Stevens she had put herself in danger. She also told Stevens she had other calls to take.
