“He Cut Me”

Occurred 1/18/2012, 7:55PM       Injured Party       500 17th Street       1201180134

Officers responded to a stabbing call and made contact with an intoxicated man bleeding from a small cut under his ear.  The man said, “He cut me,” but was unable to give any other information in his intoxicated state.  Paramedics who responded told Officers the wound was not serious, but might need a stitch, so they took the man to Spohn Memorial Hospital. 

Two hours later, Officers went to the hospital with hopes the man would be able to communicate better.  Hospital staff stated the man was asked to wait his turn because the wound was not serious, but instead of waiting, he left.  Officers looked for the man in the area around the hospital, but couldn’t find him.
