“A short time later the woman had fallen asleep in a common area when a nurse woke her,” police stated in a press release.
“The woman became agitated, punching the nurse in the face and pulling her hair while yelling death threats.”
On Nov. 14 the same nurse was tending to another patient “when the accused attacked her again, punching her in the face several times and repeatedly kicking her,” police say.
The suspect was discharged from the facility the next day and arrested.
