Elderly Dementia Female Hospitalized following Violent Incident
A violent episode with a 92-year-old female suffering from dementia brought Josephine County Deputies to 100 block of Pugetville Road Sunday afternoon at 3:52.
The call to dispatch first stated they needed law enforcement to deal with a violent female who was renting a room at that location. The Sheriff's log stated the woman attempted to hit the caller's six-year-old daughter with a stick. The subject continued to shove people attempting to intervene but continued to try to harm the child.
Residents locked themselves in a room and the woman continued to try to break into the room. Deputies arrived and contained the elderly woman who continued to resist threatening to kick ambulance medics and informing deputies to not make her mad or she would hit them with her cane while refusing to get on AMR's gurney.
Deputies followed the ambulance to Three Rivers Medical Center where the woman was lodged on a police officer's medical hold.
