Point well taken. I can see (your events) as meriting further inquiry and wanting to help the person and those around them ultimately.Were the prowlers believed to be imaginary/hallucination?
I used to have a guy who would call in burglaries because he had mental health issues and believed people were trying to steal his unwritten book. He then believed the mailman was an undercover FBI agent trying to steal his book. He started answering the door with a pistol in his hand (going back to if I shot everyone I *could* have shot, I'd have shot a lot more people), etc. Or the woman who thought voodoo priests were stealing her hair. Or the woman dealing with a giant demon snake. Etc. etc.
So, believe it or not, from the beginning I realized there was no burglar/prowler and started working to try to get him into mental health treatment. That's also part of the public service provided by police and has been for longer than I've been a cop. If you can get them help and it works, better quality of life for them, less fake calls for you, less risk of escalating to violence due to a misperceived reality.
From the video it looked like she was just someone who reported a prowler. Don't know if that was her first call, 200th call or what.
p.s. Are you SURE the voodoo priests weren't after that woman's hair?
