A woman was voluntarily transported to University Medical Center for depression on Oct. 18 at 10:06 p.m.

The University of Arizona Police Department responded to a call for a possibly intoxicated woman near the Posado San Pedro dorm making statements that she wanted to hurt or kill herself, who possibly had an instrument with her to do so. Upon their arrival UAPD made contact with a woman sitting west of the dorm. Police observed that she was extremely upset, crying and had no shoes on. They reported that she smelled of intoxicants.

UAPD asked the woman to show them her hands in case she had anything that could harm someone. She did not. She told police that she was not injured in any way, but they observed faint red marks on her wrists. An officer asked the woman why she was crying. She told him that she had just gotten into an argument with her boyfriend of four years and was extremely upset about it. The woman told officers that she just wanted to hurt herself. She said that she found a rock and was trying to cut at her wrists with it. The woman told officers that she had thoughts about killing herself. She also said that she had no intention of hurting others, only herself. When police asked her where the rock was now she said that her friends had taken it away from her and she now had nothing in her possession that she could use to hurt herself.

The woman told officers that she had a history of depression and that she had been on medication for it, but was not currently taking any medication. She also said her family had a history of depression and this was the only time she had ever tried to hurt or kill herself.

Police asked the woman if she would like to talk to someone about her current state. She told the officers she would like to go to the hospital for evaluation.

When she was being transported to UMC an officer asked her if she had anything to drink that night. She told them yes, but she had never had suicidal thoughts or wanted to hurt herself before when she had been drinking.

The woman was checked in and released to UMC for care. A report was forwarded to the Dean of Students Office.
