Summary: Emergency services responded to a report of a patient not feeling well at the 9.5 mile marker, possibly near a correctional facility. The initial caller was uncooperative, making it difficult to obtain details. Multiple units, including Engine 4, Medic 3, and HPD, were dispatched to the scene. The patient was described as a male with altered mental status, located in a silver Mercedes. There was confusion regarding the source of the call, with indications that an inmate may have used a cell phone to contact emergency services. The situation required coordination between medical responders and law enforcement, but no disturbance was reported and the risk to public safety remained low.
