Woman dies while being forcibly removed from hospital

Mallory said that the officer who arrested Dawson removed the handcuffs after she collapsed and escorted her back into the hospital. But family members told the Democrat the nursing staff “banned” her from the hospital.

Staff called the police at 4.45am on Monday who arrived at the center and arrested Dawson for disorderly conduct and trespassing.

“When he got her to the auto, he opened the door and tried to put her in the vehicle and after then she collapsed”, Donar told the station.
