The woman remained at large for more than three months. Now she is in an isolated jail cell after refusing tuberculosis treatments.
Authorities had been looking for the woman, identified as"VN" in court records, since an arrest warrant was issued more than three months ago.
“We are hopeful she will choose to get the life-saving treatment she needs to treat her tuberculosis,” the health department said. "People can die from TB if they don’t get treatment," the department stated."And they can expose other people to unnecessary risk of getting TB."It's rare for the health department to take legal action in these cases. Health officials say they try to work with the person first. If that doesn't work, they contact family members, friends or people in the community for help.
