Life Saving Incident

On December 6, 2018, a man called 911 and requested a welfare check on his girlfriend when she did not show up for school. Deputy Danny Pulido went to the girlfriend’s home and found the front door ajar. When Pulido went inside, he found a handwritten note saying she intended to kill herself. During the deputies search for her they also learned she had sent text messages to friends indicating she intended to commit suicide. Pulido initiated a critical missing investigation and enlisted the help of Deputy Jacob Graham. The deputies obtained her cell number from her boyfriend and initiated emergency GPS tracking of her phone. The GPS information provided a general location of her last known whereabouts. Graham and Pulido conducted an extensive area check and eventually found her car. She was inside and in an extremely altered state. The deputies called for medical aid and forced their way into her car. Deputies found a half empty bottle of sleeping pills and hand sanitizer. Her breath smelled like hand sanitizer and there was a white residue around her mouth. Paramedics arrived and transported her to the hospital. The woman, a United States Army veteran, ultimately survived the ordeal and was later released from the hospital.
