On September 16, 2009, Mitrice Richardson, a 24-year-old woman, found herself in a distressing situation when arrested by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for failing to settle her bill at an upscale Malibu restaurant. Her behavior was troublingly erratic, signaling a potential mental health crisis as she spoke incoherently and displayed actions out of character. In a disturbing turn of events, Mitrice was detained and subsequently released alone into an unfamiliar, remote area in the dead of night, devoid of transportation, her cell phone, and with no one aware of her whereabouts.
