If something horrible had happen I bet the pharmacist would never sleep again knowing they could have done something.
I would like to see it as someone trying to do the right thing and that is really as much as you can do.

Yes.
If the neighbors ask what happened, look them right in the eye and say "I am not at liberty to discuss the events of..." then stop, and then whisper "I gotta go."
====================
Trill, I extend my condolences on your loss.
My Labs died when I was overseas.
I found the one when I was 9.
She had a litter when I was 11.
I kept one.
There were my dogs until I deployed.
When I got back to The World, my family waited 2 months to even tell me they died (mother had them euthanized).
I kind of know how you feel...

I wish you the best on the new pups...

Sexobon is correct. There is a mechanism for police to take into protective custody any person who is reasonably deemed to be at imminent risk of harm to self or others, or who appears at risk of imminent serious physical impairment due to a mental health condition. The police must transport such person directly to a hospital for prompt evaluation. This process is not voluntary so cuffs are used.

The point of the provision for this sort of detention is to ensure the satefy and prompt evaluation of someone who meets one or more of the above three criteria, through words or actions and sometimes general appearance (eg an emaciated, obviously physically ill psychotic person found wandering in the passing lane on the interstate). Whatever happened at the pharmacy prompted the pharmacist to call, and either the strength of the concerns communicated prompted dispatch to send three cruisers, or the first officers on scene asked for backup. We don't know the details.But the point of it all was safety.

Tril was taken to the police station though.
Not conducive to mental healing.

Still, they let the lady go.
So she is now officially and legally confirmed as sane, which is more than I've ever been.
(I lie - I was discharged from mental health daycare after 2 weeks. Possibly because I got my sense of humour back and was disturbing the daily routine thereby.)

That was the part of Trilby's account that said 'protective custody' rather than arrest. She didn't mention the police station in her post, and if she ended up there at some point that's a different matter. The whole episode isn't conducive to mental healing, but that's not the point of it - it's getting someone to urgent evaluation for reasons of safety.

I'm glad she was released, and I hope the rest of her day went much better.

You are correct about the transport policy. In this type situation, we always had an ambulance transport with our assistance. I think the officers should have used more discretion and compassion.

Tril - I hope you get your new dog. If not, I have a turtle I will let you adopt. He is very sweet and doesn't get in the way. Doesn't eat much either. Now that I think about it, he hasn't eaten anything in a few years. Hmmm????

Oops, sorry Ortho. I was going with my remembered account rather than what Trilby wrote.

But also an opportunity for fun.

How about a story about your exploits as a high-end jewel thief. How you are never indicted because you leave no evidence behind.

Trilby has a new dog.

Given my cat has produced an awful ot of custard (Blackadder) over the weekend I do not worry that love will find a way.

Yes! Looking forward to the photos (has anyone else noticed that Trilby recently acquired an ability to post photos which she never had before?). Of the poop, or the pup, whichever, naturally!
