At approximately 0927 hrs I was dispatched to a church to conduct a welfare check on a female whose father called and stated that she may be on drugs or mentally unstable.
Upon my arrival along with another officer Ptl. Vince, I was met by a female. She appeared distraught and confused but stated that she was ok. She refused to answer questions and repeatedly asked if she was being detained. She then told us to get off her lawn. I walked toward the doors to the church to speak to the staff and she began following me. As I got closer to the doors, she stated “don’t go in my house” and positioned herself between me and the doors. Ptl. Vince then opened one of the doors to walk into the church and she grabbed the back of his gun belt with her right hand in an attempt to stop him from walking into the church. I then grabbed her right wrist and placed her right arm behind her back. Ptl. Vince then took control of her right upper arm and elbow to hold it while I took control of her left arm and placed a handcuff on her left wrist and then right wrist. She repeatedly attempted to pull away from us even after being given loud repetitive verbal commands to stop resisting. She also repeatedly kicked backwards with both legs, striking me in the left shin and Ptl. Vince in the left thigh. Once she was in handcuffs we walked her to my cruiser at which time she began to make her body dead weight and had to be held up. Once we got her to the cruiser, she refused to get in to the back seat. Ptl. Vince had to lift her legs up and push her in.
During an inventory of her vehicle officers found a pink colored glass pipe with burnt residue in the open compartment under the vehicle’s radio. Also found in the compartment was a green colored mini grinder that contained white crystal power residue. Found in a makeup kit in the trunk of the vehicle was a blue glass pipe with burnt residue. Found in a mesh pouch on the outside of a backpack that was sitting in the trunk of the vehicle was a blue colored glass container with a white screw on cap that contained a crystal/rocky substance.
I then spoke with church administrator who was at the church when we arrived. They stated that when they arrived at the church, shortly before officers arrived. They stated that the individual asked her if she was the “High Priestess” to which they replied “No”. The church administrator stated that she “was coming here over the ocean but never touched water.” They also stated that she wanted to show her the light and that she was there to take over the church.
Sgt. Danko arrived to assist and requested a medical squad for a psychiatric evaluation. A short time later, Macedonia Fire Medics arrived on the scene and escorted her to the ambulance. Due to her erratic behavior, delusional statement and violence towards officers it was decided that she needed to be transported to the Hospital and pink slipped. While on the way to the Hospital, she admitted to eating methamphetamine earlier in the day.
