KNOX COUNTY, Ind – Saturday evening (7/27/19) around 5:15 p.m., Indiana State Police Trooper Nick Hatfield was patrolling in the Vincennes area when a driver began to flash their headlights at the Trooper.

The vehicle quickly pulled over and Trooper Hatfield pulled in behind the vehicle. A male driver jumped out of his vehicle with a cellphone in his hand and started to explain to the Trooper that someone that he didn’t know just called his cellphone and that the female sounded like she was in distress and needed help.

Trooper Hatfield took the cellphone and attempted to communicate with the female caller, but she was panicking and difficult to understand.

The Trooper stayed on the phone with the female and was able to calm her down and determine that she had taken multiple pills and had attempted suicide.

Trooper Hatfield was eventually able to obtain her address in Charleston, IL.

Local police were contacted and an ambulance and fire department was immediately sent to the caller’s residence.

Emergency crews arrived at 5:29 p.m. and transported her to a nearby hospital.
