Court documents say a woman who drove her truck into a southwest Missouri health centre was suffering from withdrawal because a doctor stopped prescribing her anti-anxiety medication.
The Springfield News-Leader (http://sgfnow.co/2hRIJ9A ) reports that 58-year-old Andrea Gully is jailed on a felony property damage charge. Her attorney, Tad Morlan, said what happened was "unfortunate" and that he hopes to resolve it in a "fair and understanding manner."
Documents say Gully was experiencing body shakes, anger and depression due to withdrawal from Xanax, which she had taken for years.
On Monday, Gully checked into a Springfield centre that serves low-income, underinsured patients. Court documents say she drove through the clinic's main doors after waiting a few hours. No one was hurt.
She told a reporter as she was being led away in handcuffs that she was upset she wasn't being given "my medication."
