takes calls at the 9-1-1 Communications Center -- had the police called 
on her. She's suspected of committing multiple crimes just hours after 
leaving work early. 29-year old, Stephanie Fletcher, told her boss she was feeling sick.Although
 she told them she was heading home to get well, the East Ridge police 
department believes she may have made a pit stop. Eric Hopkins tells us 
We got a call about a car theft in progress. The victim had arrived 
home and saw her vehicles doors open in her parked car. and saw female 
carrying some items that had been in her vehicle.After being 
caught in the act, police say she gave all the items back and left the 
scene.That's when the victim and her boyfriend Martinez White called 
9-1-1. He says that After I realized what was going on I realized 
something had to be done. It can't happen again.We looked at the license
 plate. and realized it was one of ours. and I was like oh shoot it's 
going down, says Martinez.I went to Fletcher's home in hopes of getting her side of the story, but no one was there.White
 didn't know Stephanie Fletcher worked for dispatch until I told him. 
But when he found out that she worked at the place where he ultimately 
called for help... he had one thing to say. People like that don't need
 to have a job... you do bad crimes you do bad time.As for the 
9-1-1 call center,  they say they'll suspend her for the time being. 
John Starmor, a supervisor at the centers tells us, As a result of that
 arrest, that employee has been put on administrative leave-- pending 
our investigation and hearing.
