Police Take Muskego Woman Into Custody After Report She Was Carrying a Gun

(Editor's note: generally matters involving attempts at suicide are not reported on Muskego Patch, however, the instances in this case were played out in a public street, prompting many inquiries to Patch.  We are withholding any information regarding the identity of the persons in this story as a result.)

Muskego Police were called to a residence on Muskego Drive Friday night on a report of a woman with a gun, after her mother called stating the woman was upset over her marriage and had indicated she wanted to 'end it all.'

At one point, the woman had possession of her husband's glock rifle while at her home, then fled in a vehicle, where police caught up with her in a high-risk traffic stop. At that time, it was unclear whether or not she still had the weapon.

The woman, whom it was determined was not armed when she was taken from her vehicle, was then taken into protective custody and transported to Waukesha Memorial Hospital for medical clearance.
