On 06/07/2023 at approximately 20:51 hours, I, Officer Crites 385, was dispatched to a call of an assault/battery report at Perimeter of the Ozarks. While I was in route, I was advised through Springdale dispatch that the caller needed to file a report for an assault on an employee. The suspect was described as a 13-year-old female. The caller stated that while the staff was attempting to get the child into a unit, the child was kicking an employee and was punching the employee in the face. The caller stated that this altercation happened around 5:00 PM today. When I arrived on scene, I spoke with the caller. She identified as [REDACTED]. She stated that one of their residents was refusing to go back to her unit and was trying to break out of the facility. The nursed called for the staff to try and help her back into the unit. This is when caller and another staff member were trying to escort to her unit and she was kicking them. When they arrived at the room, client wrapped her legs around staff’s legs. Staff then raises her arms to disengage with client. When staff let go of client, she got up and charged at her. The staff then eventually were able to get client in a restraint. Client threated to kill staff during this altercation. Client was given a shot of some kind of medication and she calmed down.
I contacted WCJDC, and they advised that they would not be detaining due to her medical situation. They advised that they thought it would be unsafe to keep because they don’t have any medical trained staff in the Juvenile Detention Center. Client was given the intake date at 11:00Am at 123 N college.
