PIKEVILLE, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Pike County woman is facing a felony charge after police say she called an ambulance for transportation to town.
Officers with the Pikeville Police Department were dispatched to Pikeville Medical Centeraround noon on Sunday following a report of a disturbance in the emergency room.
According to the arrest citation, Joanna Trump, 37, of Greasy Creek, arrived at the hospital by ambulance but refused medical treatment. Hospital staff told officers she allegedly said she called for the ambulance because she did not have a ride and needed to come to Pikeville to retrieve her coat.
The citation states she left the emergency room, walked around the property, then returned minutes later requesting to be seen. Police say she was later found in a room yelling at staff and making threats.
Trump is charged with filing a false report that generates an emergency response, a felony offense punishable by up to five years in prison, and disorderly conduct.
She is currently being held in the Pike County Detention Center.
