U.S. District Judge Thomas L. Ludington on Thursday, Jan. 30, sentenced Latashya L. Brooks to two years of probation. While on probation, Brooks must participate in a mental health treatment program, take all prescribed medications, and submit to psychological evaluations as directed by her probation officer.

Happens all the time.
ReplyDeleteBack when I was a CR a guy threaten to kill me with the hatchet he slept with under his pillow. As the interview progressed he also threatened his treating psych, knew her car, followed her to home address and knew her kids names and the number of the bus they rode home from school and the time and place they were dropped off.
I contacted the treating psych, who was shocked. Just one of a thousand stories from the worst job I ever had, that includes shoveling horse manure when I was in high school and worked at a stable.
