A lady was sleeping in a car, parked at a gas station. Officers went to check on her. Upon evaluating her, they called the Emergency Medical Services to come and assess her.
She was not very responsive. They believed possibly she had been drinking.
They arrested Elizabeth Randolph, 64, and took her to the Regional Jail. There she was assessed by a nurse and released the next day.
CHIEF TOM MITCHELL, MOUNDSVILLE POLICE
And I actually, personally spoke with her. It’s hard to assess somebody’s functionality but there’s a few questions that you ask. I asked her those questions and she knew the answers to them.
We were trying to contact people from Morgantown, where she was from, and were unsuccessful. But we left messages.
She bought a pop with her credit card and was off.
It was only after this that Chief Mitchell says family members then finally called back his office. Since that moment, the Police Department filed Randolph as a missing person with the National Crime Information Center in hopes of finding her safe.
But for Randolph’s case, Police are tracking her card and E-ZPass. And the Moundsville Police are not giving up.
