911 SUPERVISOR PLAYED MOVIE DURING SOS CALL

-

CORAL SPRINGS: Authoritie­s say a South Florida 911 dispatch supervisor was watching I Am Mother on Netflix while a caller tried to get help after someone shot out her car’s windshield. Records show a 34-minute delay in the June 9 call being dispatched to an officer. The victim told the South Florida Sunsentine­l she finally drove herself to the police station. The call was logged as a “suspicious incident” rather than a priority. Investigat­ors wanted to know how the error happened and how the supervisor missed it. An investigat­ion found Netflix, Hulu and Xfinity TV were the most used applicatio­ns on Julie Vidaud’s computer.
