Milwaukee 911 dispatcher refused to send officer to carjacking, call audio shows

Nick Bohr:

A carjacking in a quiet neighborhood near 84th and Mill last October still haunts the 64-year-old victim. 

“I remember the person coming into my car, pulling me out of the car, pushing me down, fighting me for my purse,” the victim said Tuesday. She doesn’t want to be identified because she’s still shaken by the crime.

As she fought the young man, a neighbor called 911.

“Some kids are stealing my neighbor’s car. They’re in her car. They can’t get the car door shut,” she’s heard saying on the 911 call obtained by WISN 12 News through an open records request. The victim is heard as well, describing the ongoing carjacking.
