Deputies Jailed Woman for Interfering with AMR Tech at Murphy Area Home
The Josephine County Sheriff's Office jailed a woman this week for interfering with an American Medical Response technician who was attempting to help her elderly mother at a residence near Murphy.
The Sheriff's Office reports deputies arrested 68-year-old Pamela LaVigne Borba at a home in the 5200-block of Williams Highway late Tuesday afternoon.
Deputies said AMR had responded to assist an 85-year-old woman who had shown signs of severe illness early yesterday. Borba had reportedly left the residence and her mother called 9-1-1 while she was away. She returned and was combative.
According to the report, Borba struck an AMR technician in the face and arms before fleeing the scene in a Honda Accord and then returning to the residence.
Responding deputies contacted the woman and gathered enough evidence to develop probable cause for arresting her.
Borba was transported to Grants Pass and lodged at the Josephine County Jail for Attempted 3rd-Degree Assault. She was being held without bail.
