Cheyanne Allen is a 911 Dispatcher with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. Her actions New Year’s day helped save a life!

At 3:52 a.m., Amanda Antonio called in saying she was trapped in her car upside-down and sinking in a ditch.

For 16 minutes, Allen kept her focused and talking until deputies got there to save her.

Hyperventilating in that case may have killed Antonio, but Allen was able to keep her calm.
