>>122361663I work at a hospital and this happened to us last January. We had this patient who was convinced the ER staff was trying to kill him. He ripped some equipment off the wall and ran off with no pants. Outside the ER there was an ambulance idling so he jumped in and drove off with it, and was chased by police. He was apprehended after he flipped the ambulance on its side.
So the patient was pretty much unhurt and was released into police custody. He was booked into jail on about $20,000 bond which he couldn't pay. So he got to spend the next nine months watching the pandemic from a jail cell. His trial kept getting postponed because of the pandemic.
When he finally saw a judge in September, she declared him unfit to stand trial and let him go.
