The officer who went to the theatre reported there was no damage to the building, no one got hit, but some of the woman’s belongings were strewn around the entrance of the Capital Center. The officer gathered up the items and met with other officers later.
The woman could be heard over the radio screaming while being placed in a cruiser.
