Negative. We got covered up, but I see it now. I'll take cover it. (name withheld), 171-138. The MF 8780, Summer Walk Drive East. Okay. We got one resident here had possibly tried to steal a purse. Some of the residents had called them out on it, and the nurse had... kind of directing him away from the incident and told him not to take the purse. At that point, the suspect then starts calling some residents and some people names. Our victim then confronts the suspect from his room, from the victim's room, just at the doorway, tells him not to call the other people names. At that point, suspect, then... Punts his victim, he has injuries on his eye, suspects in a wheelchair. I think he needs to be locked up, but what are we going to have to sit with him at SCD or what's the situation there? One for one in a minute. Yeah, we would have to, since they wouldn't be going into Turnkey, we'd have to stay with them until they finish up and they can release them to the jail.
