No I didn’t have a warrent. I had just came consience.. I saw Neil being put on a stretcher and I saw people videoing cars stopped everywhere. police and emsv all telling me to stay seated. and I remember suddenly feeling pain in my leg along with fear of handcuffs or a stretcher coming my way next for whatever reason and my instinct was to run leaving everything behind. However the next morning the police caught up to me and called an ambulance. I went to wakemed and released hours later. Neil who is Now My Angel didn’t make it while I managed to survive with only a messed up leg. Neal Nhanged my life taught me a lot and Never will i be the same after this Experience. Judge me as you please. Neil and God Knows where my heart is.. !
Well, apparently she did have a warrant because as we were leaving the Memorial Service, the SPD was getting her out the door. She’s in jail now.
