Violent mentally ill woman floods county jail cell
A mentally disturbed woman, brought to the county jail after a violent episode, flooded her cell when water from a broken pipe covered the floor. Deputies could not keep her clothed, and a sedative failed to calm her. The jail serves as temporary restraint until she can be evaluated for commitment, with admission delays due to hospital space and facility limits. Sheriff Glass noted the lack of suitable local restraints and the need for external care, while welfare workers arranged for a woman to supervise the inmate.
