Its easier just to read if for yourself…
A Bellevue woman allegedly tried selling a prescription drug in order
to be able to pay for her parking fees at a local hospital. 47-year-old Susan Hardy is charged with misdemeanor attempted drug trafficking after her arrest at University Hospital.
On
Thursday, Hardy allegedly approached a person in the emergency room and
offered to sell them one Diazepam pill. Diazepam is generic Valium.
That person then told University of Cincinnati Police. Hardy then allegedly told the officer she was trying to sell the pill so she could get money to get out of a parking garage.
I can sympathize. Sometimes you are cash poor and there is no solution except to go into business for yourself. However, one should be a bit more discerning about what you were selling. She probably didn’t know that she could get out of the garage by simply telling the attendant she had no money and would be back later to pay. She might have to leave her tire iron, but hey, she would have been on her way.
I went to breakfast the other day and left my money at home. I did have an atm card. I told the waiter that I had forgotten my money and would be right back. He said "ok". I went to the drugstore next door and was rejected by the Washington Mutual ATM however the Wells Fargo unit in the grocery store next to that worked fine.
People trust you when you tell them the truth. Funny how that works. On the other hand, if she had just filled a valium prescription, she may have been under a lot of pressure and wasn’t thinking too clearly. It was perhaps better she wasn’t driving.
