Police: Woman drives truck through Missouri clinic's doors



     SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) – Police in southwest Missouri say a woman outraged at a

doctor was arrested after driving her pickup truck through a health center’s

glass doors.

     Police say no injuries resulted from the confrontation about 4:40 p.m. Monday

at the Jordan Valley Community Health Center in Springfield. Charges were

pending.

     Police say the woman told a reporter as she was being led away in handcuffs

that she was upset a doctor at the center for low-income, underinsured patients

wouldn’t give her medications.

     A witness, Carl Kilbourne, told the Springfield News-Leader he saw an irate

woman screaming and swinging her purse just outside the clinic moments before

the truck smashed through the doors.

     The center provides health care, dental care, behavioral health care and other

services in Springfield and five other regional cities.
