What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? ARKANSAS
A home wound care nurse came to my home after the police arrived and told her I had a warrant and was going to jail and told her what the warrant was for. I had a warrant in another county and that they were going to take me, a quadrapalegic, to jail in the back seat of their car if I didn't have a way to be transported. I was put in my electric hoyer and placed in my parents vehicle to be transported. As I was being placed in the vehicle, I lost consciousness and my parents rushed my to the hospital for treatment. Upon my arrival at the er my parents told me I was placed on a gurney and taken back for assessment. My parents were told they could not come back immediately, but the officer went back with me and told the er staff that I had a warrant and what it was for. My mom heard the personnel at the front desk talking about me and what the warrant was for. The officer sat outside the er room waiting for me to be released. I was diagnosed with a panic attack, a UTI and severe constipation. My BP was 147/97 which is high especially for a quadrapalegic. I was given medicine a prescription for the UTI and a bottle of laxative and was released. In the meantime, another officer showed up from the county where the warrant was issued and said he would put me in the back seat of his car and transport me to the jail. My parents called the other city and spoke with a detective and he asked for the officer's name and he called the officer and spoke with him. After that phone call from the detective, I was told that I wasn't going to be transported, but that they gave me a new court date and I was free to go home. My question is this: Can the police officer tell all the er staff and my home wound nurse that I have a warrant and what it was for?
