The Arkansas 911 dispatcher who scolded a woman crying on the phone before she drowned will not face criminal charges, an internal investigation ruled.
A Fort Smith Police investigation into Debra Stevens' death found that while the 911 dispatcher"violated policy by being rude to Stevens at times," she hadn't violated the law in her response. CNN is not naming the dispatcher because she has not been charged and we were unable to reach her. The dispatcher, police said,"performed her duties as required and was not negligent in her response.
