For the second time in two days, sheriff deputies have had to deal with a woman who overreacted when Department of Social Service case workers took her children. This mother decided to file a missing persons report. She was at the jail already, and told the deputy a DSS worker had kidnapped her children. The children had been taken because of a court order to do so, and when the deputy reminded the woman of this fact, she "became disruptive and uncooperative." Finally, the deputy gave the woman two choices: calm down, get in the car and leave the jail parking lot, or be arrested. At this the woman "became even more uncooperative." One can only imagine.
38-year old Mary Absher of North Wilkesboro was arrested for filing a false report and resting the orders of the deputy. Her car was towed off, and her children remain in the care of DSS.
