The suspect had received a letter from UWMC patient relations that said she was no longer to receive treatment at UWMC and had been restricted to being served at the Women's Health Care Clinic at the Roosevelt Clinic and the UWMC emergency department in case of urgent care. The letter also said that any further contact with the UWMC would be considered trespassing.

When the officers contacted the suspect, inquiring whether she had read and understood the letter, she replied, "I'm not leaving till I get my organs back. They raped me with medication and exchanged my organs with a prostitute's organs."

The suspect was arrested for criminal trespassing and later booked into King County Jail. No organs have been returned to the woman.
