Police Full Circle

There is nothing more fun than a drunk person being brought to the ER by the police and BLS.  Oh how we love to fill our beds with drunk people (sarcasm). 

One very busy night this lady arrives with a plastic bag full of documents, smelling like alcohol, and in handcuffs.  She had urinated on herself prior to arriving.  She had the trifecta stank:  urine, alcohol, and smokes.  

After sleeping off her buzz, she woke up not knowing where she was.  She was informed where she was and how she got there.  I offered her something to eat, a pair of fresh socks and a toothbrush.  

After she freshened herself up I asked her where she had planned on going, she was to be discharged.  She asked for cab fare to a town 25 miles away.  She said she didn't have any money.  I informed her that she could have a cab voucher to her relative's house, but a 25 mile fare was out of the question.  

In the mean time this person had her own idea how she was going to get some quick cash.  She decided to lift one of the techs purses. Moments after she took the purse she was in a hurry out of the ER.  

Within a minute the tech came looking for her and her purse.  

Well I found the thief.  She had ducked into the bathroom.  She shoved the money from the purse in her sock and ditched the purse in the trash.  

When all was said and done she was re-arrested by the police, and off she went back to the jail she had been released from less than 24 hours earlier.
