Miss U Part 2

Well Miss "U" finally hit the last nerve. I know that she is mentally handicap in some way but I am not sure to what extent. I mentioned in my previous post that Miss "U" calls the police station all the time for non sense reasons. Most just to talk...in hopes of we can actually understand what she is saying.

We found out a couple of weeks ago that her sister has been in the hospital. With her sister gone she obviously has no one to talk to. So one night she just kept calling the station and of course we would send an officer out to her to make sure she was ok. She got mad because we kept sending someone out there (just doing our job!) so she then started dialing 9-1-1 and asking them for a coke. Yup she dialed them and asked them to bring her a coke. Rescue was dispatched out there just to make sure she was ok and again she got mad. She then walked up to the station and ended up causing a huge scene in the lobby and had to be escorted out by an officer. She left only to return within the hour. Yelling and screaming she was escorted out again. She left again only to return again. She came into the lobby and ended up banging on one of the doors to get into the back office (takes a special code so only employees can go beyond that point) and then started banging on the lobby window which divides our office and the lobby.

There were several people in the lobby witnessing this behavior so one of the officers made the decision to arrest her for disorderly contact. I mean she was given three chances and blew them all. Sadly she was arrested and placed in jail. I really felt bad for her but what else could we do? Dealing with her issues happen almost everyday. I know that she is "special" but enough is enough.

Later that week she was admitted into a psychiatric hospital where she has been ever since. She was deemed unfit to take care of herself and her sister. Hopefully in this hospital she will get the attention and help that she needs. I must say that since she has been in the hospital our call volume has dropped by at least 50%...I am not joking!

Ironically the other day Miss "U" snuck a phone into her bedroom. Who do you think she called? Yup, she called us the other day! We only received about 3 calls from her before they realized she had the phone!
