A former 911 operator who hung up the phone "thousands" of times on people attempting to call in emergencies in Harris County, Texas has been sentenced to jail time.
Crenshanda Williams, 44, was found guilty of interference with emergency telephone calls Wednesday after "systematically" hanging up the phone on residents of Harris County, KTRK reported.
She was sentenced to 10 days in jail and 18 months probation.
Williams reportedly had an unusual number of "short calls," which were no longer than 20 seconds.
Prosecutors, according to the Houston Chronicle, determined she hung up on "thousands" of calls.
Williams reportedly spent a year and a half at the Houston Emergency Center taking 911 calls.
The "state-of-the-art" center was opened in 2003 as a consolidation of Houston's three emergency communication centers. »
