A Blake Hollow Road resident got a shock when an unfamiliar woman walked into her home holding knives, but what could have turned dangerous quickly became a story of compassion and crisis intervention thanks to fast-acting first responders.
🚨 Wrong House, Right Response
The homeowner told dispatchers that the woman entered the house holding knives but left immediately when she was told she was at the wrong address.
Deputies arrived within minutes to locate the woman and assess the situation.
It didn’t take long for officers to realize that the woman was experiencing a severe mental health crisis, not attempting a crime.
❤️ From Crisis to Care
Instead of an arrest, deputies made sure the woman received the help she needed.
They safely transported her to King’s Daughters Medical Center in Ashland for evaluation and treatment.
