Putnam County Sheriff Donald B. Smith reports that a Patterson woman was taken to the hospital for a mental health evaluation last weekend after she was found to be behaving erratically and threatening to kill a neighbor.

On February 18, 2017 at 12:46 p.m., Deputy Sheriff Robert Hudson responded to a 911 call from a person reporting that a friend was “out of control” at a Patterson residence. Upon arrival, the deputy met the caller and observed the subject of the call–a woman who was talking to herself and uttering threats to kill a neighbor.

The deputy took the woman into custody under the Mental Hygiene Law and she was transported to Putnam Hospital Center in Carmel for a mental health evaluation.
