New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell is defending the head of the city's 911 operation.
Tyrell Morris announced his resignation from the Orleans Parish Communication District on Monday, effective September 15.
City Council leaders are calling for his immediate suspension over questions about his handling of a crash last month involving Morris's taxpayer-bought SUV.
At her weekly news conference on Wednesday, Cantrell said Morris shouldn't be suspended while he's under investigation.
