MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A woman is facing a list of charges after police say she crashed her car through the front of Methodist University Hospital and drove inside on Christmas night.
Brittany Posey is charged with aggravated assault, vandalism, DUI and resisting official detention.
Police say at 10 p.m. Friday, she drove her Lexus ES300 through the glass entry and into the lobby area of the hospital on Union Avenue in the Medical District. No one was injured, but the interior of the building was damaged before the car came to a stop, police said.
“Posey was uncooperative, struggled with officers, and appeared to be intoxicated,” a police report stated. She was checked at the hospital for minor injuries caused by the crash and was released to officers.
A witness said Posey didn’t just burst in, but backed up and drove through several times, even flooring it down a hospital hallway.
Larry Dunn said he was getting off an elevator when the car crashed through the entry.
“When I saw they rammed the hospital several times and actually drove down the hallway, I really didn’t know what the intent was,” Dunn said. “It was a pretty crazy scene man, definitely a Christmas to remember.”
According to court information, Posey was angry at Methodist over something that happened in July, and said she had been “feeling low” during the holidays. She also admitted using cocaine earlier in the day.
