On August 24, the district reported to police that Stephens had deliberately disconnected emergency 911 calls without obtaining the necessary information needed to help those in need.
While conducting quality control on a set of calls on August 20 and August 21, the district became aware of what Precious Stephens was doing.
The district immediately notified police and fired Stephens.
