Kentucky Rehab Patient Dumped in Portsmouth
A Kentucky rehab patient was dumped in Portsmouth with no place to go. Police were first alerted to the situation around 10:30 when the man’s father called to complain that the man was dropped off near his house and had contacted him.
Police suggested that the man go to the homeless shelter with his garbage bags full of belongings. However, the man said he was in withdrawal and couldn’t walk.
An officer contacted the rehab facility who said they had attempted to drop the man at a homeless shelter but he claimed difficulty breathing and got out of the truck, so the driver freaked out and left him.
The officer spoke with someone at the homeless shelter who seemed upset that there would be a lot of paperwork associated with letting the guy stay with them for a few hours.
The man agreed to leave his belongings behind a dumpster. Finally, police contacted his sister who agreed she would get him later in the day.
