911 Operator Told 44-Year-Old Woman To Wake Up Sleeping Intruder

Angela Chalmers, 44, woke up to the sound of her dog growling shortly before 7 a.m. on June 18. She said that she found a stranger sleeping on her couch and called 911, but waited 20 minutes for them to arrive – and that the operator recommended taking care of it herself because ‘they were busy’.
