Significant law enforcement response at Augusta Health nets arrest, eventually

We started hearing about a significant law enforcement presence at Augusta Health Friday morning, and now we have the details of what was going on.

The Augusta County Sheriff’s Office is reporting that it received a call for service regarding a male who was allegedly stalking an individual inside Augusta Health at 7:55 a.m. Friday.

A man was eventually taken into custody, not at the hospital, but in Montgomery County, per a release from the sheriff’s office.

We don’t have information on the man who was arrested in connection with this incident.

ACSO reports that it initiated its response at the hospital due to the “nature of the reported threats and information indicating that the individual had outstanding warrants.”

We also know that during the response, “law enforcement officers located a male inside the hospital who matched the description of the individual involved in the reported incident. It was subsequently determined that this individual was a vendor of Augusta Health and had absolutely no connection to the stalking incident.”
