Assaulting a healthcare worker

Tweet

I didn’t know this but in the State of Virginia you can not make death threats to a healthcare staff. What? One any time of death threats should be taken seriously. Last night my husband was on desk duties while he healths his ribs. A patient came in voluntarily because he felt that he was going to do harm to himself or others. Okay that’s behavior but when they tried to get him for treatment the man we’ll decided that he was going to threaten everyone which for 2 hours they delt with that on the mental health floor of where my husband works. So my husband charge nurse for the night decided to call the police. At first for 45 minutes the police kept telling the staff there wasn’t anything they could do and they had to deal with it. So my husband in his smart went to the computer and looked up state laws and printed and brought it to the police officers at first they waved it off saying they had to wait for there higher up to come down which he did and the nurse showed him the law. The head office told the other offices to take him away and arrested him for a felony for death threats against health staff. My husband being a smart butt he is told the officers I know when I come to work I don’t like to be threaten I like to go home to my family in once piece and this clearly a man that has behavior needs and not mental needs he understands right from wrong
