Teen who killed 911 dispatcher in crash sentenced

CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago teenager arrested in the death of a 911 dispatcher who was killed in a car crash has pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

In a news release, the Cook County State's Attorney's office said that 18-year-old Marquis Harrison entered his plea on Friday.

Harrison was charged after a July 10, 2011 accident that killed 42-year-old Marciea Adkins. Authorities say Harrison had stolen the SUV and was being pursued by police when he slammed into a car Adkins was driving after getting off work at Chicago's Office of Emergency Management and Communications.
