Case Vignettes Case 1
Ms. G is a forty-six-year-old Caucasian female charged with burglary. She was arrested for the offense after
she was found by the police with her neighbor’s property. She was intoxicated and in possession of drugs
at the time of the arrest. She also was belligerent and combative and surprised that she was being accused
of a crime. She initiated a physical altercation with the police and was immediately taken into custody with
the highest level of constraint to protect her and the officers from potential harm. The officers’ report
indicated that Ms. G was irritable, assaultive, hyperactive, and irrational when they approached her. She
was also unable to engage in conversation and believed the officers were attempting to poison her. Her
energy level was excessively high, and she emphatically stated that she knew the mayor personally and
would have the officers and prosecutor incarcerated for accusing her of this crime. She refused defense
counsel and insisted on speaking to the judge before her pretrial. While incarcerated, she rallied the other
inmates to protest the rules and initiated a hunger strike. She became more paranoid while in the holding
cell, suggesting that the police planted drugs on her and were attempting to locate and kill her only
remaining family member. They were, in fact, attempting to contact her brother to gather information on her
mental health. Her brother provided them with relevant family history. He indicated that Ms. G had lost her
parents at an early age and was separated from her brother when they went into foster care. Her brother
had had minimal contact with her from the time she was four years old until she turned eighteen and found
him with the help of a private investigator. They maintained only intermittent contact because Ms. G was
transient, moving around the country on a regular basis. She held odd jobs, sold drugs, and lived with
boyfriends to survive. To her brother’s knowledge, Ms. G had never received any mental health treatment.
She also denied a history treatment. She refused to speak with the police about her charges and personal
history.
