"Financial issues"
Long story. This woman has been a reoccurring problem for years. She got banned from the car dealership because she threatened to shoot a worker after they wouldn't rent her a car because she stole the last one.
Police arrived and she started screaming it was because she's Mexican. Police arrest her for trespassing and assaulting an officer. She starts yelling she needs an ambo.
We get there... her complaint? "I need to speak with the hospital about my bill from the last time I was there".
