Nicole McClure said she spent hours in a jail cell, enduring taunts, until a delayed medical check revealed that she had a life-threatening problem with her brain.
Don’t know how it works there, but where I live, cops can suspect heavily that you’re drunk, but without a positive alcootest they can’t charge you. If you don’t want the alcootest, they send you to the hospital to have a blood analysis. It would have been the best scenario for this woman.
She was having a brain bleed and didn’t know it. She couldn’t even put on a pair of pants, and you expect her to be clear headed enough to figure out that she needs to deny an alcohol test so she can be taken to the hospital?
They did an alcohol test on her after they took her back to the station.
The toxicology analysis found no sign of alcohol or drugs.
