The article claims she was "prone to seizures and needed medication to treat her condition".
Nope, she had dementia, and "escaped" This continues to happen weekly in mesa. People need to be charged. Atleast 2 people this year with dementia got behind the wheel and put the community in danger. She belonged in a nursing home or under constant supervision.
Hopefully this ends well.
