Client was a very pleasant, registered nurse who was in a healthy and supportive marriage. Client had no prior criminal history but some manageable mental health obstacles. On the date she was arrested, her mental health problems had escalated to a concerning level. She became disorganized and confused. She met with a stranger and made concerning statements that were aggressive and disorganizing. She was in essence having a mental health breakdown.
