Crack and Yukon Jack
Last night, one of the area PDs brought in a prisoner who had swallowed an unknown quantity of crack. They bring them in to make sure they dont code and to recover the evidence...Someone who used to be an addict winced when he heard about it and said what a waste of good crack....
One of our dirtbags came in last night though triage. He is fond of Yukon Jack and crack. He was here last week. The police brought him in. They arrested him for family violence after he threatened his girfriend. They released him and turned him over to us as he was "jacked" (ETOH). He was very obnoxious. Our rule is once you are cleared medically you can leave even though you are ETOH, if a sober adult picked you up. He calls the girlfriend for a ride. She comes to pick him up. He starts in on her about having him arrested and starts a domestic right in the hallway. I separate them. I dont want her getting pissed off and leaving him with us. She took him. Apparently she got a restraining order against him after that.
Last night he got "jacked and cracked" again and went to her apartment and violated the order. He must have realized he was going to get pinched, so he decides to come down the hospital. He signs himself in saying he is hearing voices. I think he figured he could beat the pinch this way. But he cant control himself, he threatens the nurse. Two cops come down. We have a conference. The doc is willing to clear him so he can go to jail. The LT wouldnt take him because he made suicidal comments. So we got stuck with him. But there is going to be a warrant with his name on it.
Also, the night before, two brothers got in a bar beef. Apparently one stabbed the other. The stabbee went out side and cranked off 1 or 3 rounds, depending on who's version. He then drove off and jumped on the highway. Cop stopped him on the highway. He was bleeding. Said he tossed the handgun out the window as he was headed up the ramp. Cops couldnt find the gun. One of the cops told me last night they came back in the morning and found it, before some neighborhood kid did.
