Is Houston turning into the Chicago and Detroit of the South now?

"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. The dispatcher also hung up on a caller who tried to report a violent robbery, according to the Chronicle."


I wonder if this was a "make work" job for her, getting her off govt subsistence?
