HIGHER THAN THE TIP OF THE EARS ON A GOVERNMENT MULE AND GONE CRAZIER THAN A RABIES-INFECTED RACCOON: JEFFREY NAPIER, 22, OF FORT GAY, WEST VIRGINIA; WAS ARRESTED VERY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 23, AFTER HE WENT ON A DRUG-FUELED VIOLENT RAMPAGE IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM OF THREE RIVERS MEDICAL CENTER IN LOUISA, KENTUCKY.
A Wayne County, West Virginia man found himself placed in jail last week under the most of negative auspices, after he went into a drug induced major violent escapade at the local hospital emergency room.
According to the arrest citation report, on early Friday morning, February 23, deputy Joseph Osborne of the Lawrence County Sheriff Office was notified by emergency dispatch of a major disturbance in the emergency room at Three Rivers Medical Center in Louisa. Deputy Osborne wrote that he arrived and entered the ER at TRMC, whereupon he observed an individual,who was identified as Jeffrey Napier, 22, of Fort Gay, West Virginia; kicking and screaming at ER staff and EMS personnel.
Deputy Osborne stated he entered the room in the ER, and spoke with Jeffrey Napier, advising him to remain calm and stop kicking Three River Medical Center staff, to which Jeffrey Napier stated that he would stop lashing out.
Deputy Osborne wrote that after a brief moment, Jeffrey Osborne became enraged and kicked an ER in the neck, and also struck her in the arms. Prior to deputy Osborne’s arrival, he wrote that he was told that Jeffrey Napier had also punched two other ER nurses.
Deputy Osborne then stated that he observed Jeffrey Napier kick an EMT with the Patriot EMS in the chest, to which then Jeffrey Napier suddenly kicked deputy Osborne in the chest and face, according to the arrest citation report.
Jeffrey Napier started screaming that he did not want to be seen by a doctor and wanted to leave the hospital and go home. Deputy Osborne wrote further that Jeffrey Napier continued to scream and kick at him and the ER staff.
Deputy Osborne stated in the arrest citation report that it was then he detained Jeffrey Napier and placed him in handcuffs, but that deputy Osborrne wrote he assisted by a security guard to help restrain Jeffrey Napier in a wheelchair, where he was finally removed from the ER and was placed in deputy Osborne’s patrol vehicle.
