On September 29, 2019, the operator responding to the 911 line received a distress call from a woman who said that she was being brutalized by her husband.

The operator dispatched a response team who found that the woman who had placed the call was actress Stacey Dash and that the victim of the abuse was her husband, Jeffrey Marty, who was displaying deep scratches on his arms.
