Franklinton Police report that Saturday (May 13, 2017), Sergeant William Manning and Corporal James Pugh responded to a report of a suicidal female. A witness advised that the woman had been drinking alcohol and wanted to commit suicide by cop.
The officers observed the female with a handgun but she went back into the residence while placing the weapon to her head and would not communicate with the officers. Major Justin Brown arrived and negotiated with the woman for approximately forty minutes and, while taking the woman items she had requested, was able to grab her arm and take her to the ground.
The woman was restrained and subsequently checked by medical personnel. An Order of Protective Custody was obtained from the Coroner’s Office and the woman was transported to Riverside Medical Center for psychiatric evaluation.
