CHATSWORTH, Ga. – Andrea Petty is haunted by the 911 call she answered nine days ago and wonders if she could have done anything differently.
Petty, a 15-year dispatcher, was working at the Murrary County 911 Center on Aug. 26 when she got a call from Mindy Bullard in Dawnville, Ga., at 4:35 p.m.
“I need the police at my house right now,” Bullard cried into the phone.
“I probably get six calls like hers a day,” Petty, 36, said more than a week later – calls about boyfriends, girlfriends, wives and husbands.
She couldn’t do anything about Bullard’s call, which came from Rainbow Drive in Whitfield County. She forwarded Bullard’s message about a drunk man disturbing her daughter’s birthday party to Whitfield 911 and asked authorities to be on the lookout for his truck.
