An unhinged 28-year-old NYPD 911 operator was arrested early Friday for phoning in fake emergency calls that sent firefighters rushing to a Brooklyn apartment she’d been booted from, police said.
Joselene Brunot is facing two counts of falsely reporting an incident for sending firefighters to the seventh floor pad on Clarkson Ave. in East Flatbush, where she once subletted a room, cops said.
Brunot also lied to fellow 911 operators, telling them she still lived in the apartment and had left the stove on. She claimed to be locked out of the apartment — hoping firefighters would give her access so she could get something she had left behind, cops said.
Brunot made her first faux 911 call on Sept. 13, officials said. Firefighters responded and forced the lock, building superintendent Fulgencio Rivera, 59, said.
But the dispatcher apparently didn’t get everything she needed. She called 911 again about 5 p.m. on Thursday, claiming she was locked out of the apartment and there was food was on the stove.
Six FDNY units responded, but left when the tenant Brunot rented the room from answered the door, exposing the hoax, neighbors said.
The tenant refused to comment Friday.
Cops arrested Brunot after the tenant filed a complaint against her, police said. She was given a desk appearance ticket and was expected to answer the charges in court within a few weeks, officials said.
Brunot couldn’t be reached for comment Friday.
