A dispatcher is being sought by police after allegedly hanging up on people --on purpose -- when they called 911 looking for help after Hurricane Ida swept through.
"She is wanted for allegedly disconnecting 911 calls deliberately without obtaining necessary emergency information or relaying such emergencies to the other dispatchers for aid," New Orleans police said in a press release.
Officers are looking for Precious Stephens, 25, on charges of malfeasance in office and interfering with an emergency communication.
The incidents allegedly happened on Aug. 23.
