A former Carbon County (Penn.) 911 dispatcher has run afoul of his probation conditions after his arrest on charges he dispatched police and firefighters to a non-existant brush fire last April. Joseph Homanko Jr. was suspended last April after a supervisor discovered the phony incident while reviewing CAD and logging records for quality assurance. He resigned two days later, and was then arraigned in August on criminal charges, released without bail, but given strict conditions of release. Since then he’s violated his curfew, a probation officer told a judge last Monday, and had prohibited contact with emergency responders. Homanko now wears an ankle bracelet and the judge imposed a $5,000 bail until his trial begins. His mother bailed him out.
