dispatcher

The third call occurred in July 2023 and was made to a local police department dispatch number in Texas, in which he falsely identified himself as a senior federal law enforcement officer, provided the officer’s residential address to the dispatcher, claimed to have killed the officer’s mother, and threatened to kill any responding police officers.

Police said an emergency dispatcher received a call shortly before 7 a.m. about a man trying to start a fire in the parking lot of the Banfield Pet Hospital at 5380 Ralston St.

The tape continued as the dispatcher guided the neighbour to check on Mr Crossley and the arrival of the PSNI.

During the recording the court heard the emergency medical dispatcher tell Ms McIlwaine to go to a neighbour with her baby to get help.

Both directions of the freeway were temporarily closed to allow helicopters to land and perform evacuations, according to a dispatcher for the Orange County Fire Authority who declined to provide their name.
