Lewisboro police received a call at around 2:50 p.m. Nov. 19, that the patient left the hospital with a rock and a large stick and vowed never to return. Hospital officials reported he was seen heading west on Route 35.

When state police found the patient, he became extremely agitated, yelling and not complying with troopers’ requests. In time, police were able to calm him and Lewisboro police transported him back to the hospital without further incident.

The following items also were reported by the Lewisboro police:

On Nov. 20, police were called to School House Road for a report of a man who had fallen. The Lewisboro Volunteer Ambulance Corps also responded. The victim had fallen in his garage and struck the right side of his head causing a laceration and bleeding. He was transported by ambulance to Northern Westchester Hospital Center.

Police received a call Nov. 20 of a reported motorist who was driving while intoxicated south on Smithridge Road from Oakridge Commons. The caller, who wished to remain anonymous, said the vehicle was a gray Volkswagen with Connecticut license plates.
