We've dealt with her.
00:03
She's not supposed to be driving that vehicle.
00:06
The guy, the caretaker, has given her,
00:10
she's got dementia,
00:11
so she's not supposed to be driving it.
00:15
Officer Langer has sent her a driver's license for her to be re-evaluated to drive.
00:21
She cannot drive at all.
00:25
Well, the car is broke down, so she won't be driving it right now.
00:31
It's not broken down.
00:33
Like I said,
00:35
she's got a dummy key.
00:36
It will start the car and go out of neutral, but then stop because it's not an actual coded key.
00:42
So it just shuts down after a while.
00:47
Hand for, do we have any phone contacts or numerics?
00:52
I believe it was near Starlight, the guy that's been taken care of her, but the call that I went on,
01:00
he should have the information and stuff on there.
01:03
I think we had two calls over there so far.
01:11
Quarters 140, the plate is coming back to her in the needs to take from Washington Street.
01:27
One address they can pull up is near Starlight was another address that we had to go to involving her.
01:37
Well, they said it pulled out this driveway near Starlight.
01:42
I'm going to knock on the doors and see if he's aware of what's going on.
01:46
Ten-four, I spoke with him in length last week because he's wanting to get her P-E-Ced.
01:52
He's been advised the proper steps to take and talking to the coroner, and he advised he would do that, but then call back said, no, she's doing better, so, I mean, it's in his hands for that.
02:06
Careful.
02:14
Headquarters.

02:48
That vehicle comes back in her name, right?
02:52
Four, it should be a (name withheld) subject last name, (name withheld).
02:56
Tim, well, since it's in the roadway parked in opposite lane, I'm probably going to just have it towed, because I can't make no contact with anybody.
03:05
10-4[1], that would probably be the best option.
03:08
If you can give me a 21, I'll explain a little bit further about what's going on.
03:13
Timor, I saw the letter where we had to send into the DMV on getting their license pulled.
03:17
That's what you want to talk about.
03:20

03:24
Okay, boy, let me get to my phone.
