PFPD: Woman Got ‘Cleansed’ All Right

Here's another of the wacky tales that Post Falls PD deals with daily, from Sunday day shift: "An employee from a local hotel requested a welfare check on a female who had just checked out of her room. The female was acting strange, then began throwing items around in the parking lot. As the employee was on the phone, the female began to walk away from that location in search of the vehicle she previously parked and was now unable to locate. Officers made contact with the female who stated she had been staying at the hotel to "cleanse herself with God from life and tobacco". The female stated she was trying to find her car so she could find another location to stay that was clean. She was given a ride back to the hotel because (surprise!) that was where her vehicle was located. Prior to being given a ride, she was searched for weapons and marijuana was located in one of the bags she had been carrying. The female was issued a citation and released at the scene."
