Police: Dispatcher Hears Yelling for Help in 911 Call, Leading to Arrest of Darien Man
|
As sometimes happens with 911 calls, no one spoke directly to a Darien police dispatcher who received a call at 12:49 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 4. More unusual was what happened this time: According to police, the dispatcher heard people arguing, with one of them yelling for help. Darien police described what happened with this additional account (including accusations not proven in court):
Since no one was telling the dispatcher where the emergency was taking place, the dispatcher traced the location, and officers went to the scene — a home on Old Farm Road in the Tokeneke section of town. There they met with a resident who said he had been in an argument with the victim, who had left.
