About 2:00 pm Friday a woman entered WROI and told staff members she was in trouble and needed help while waiting for a ride.

She explained that people were after her, that they attempted to harm her.  The woman said she sought help in the past but was denied.

Several minutes into the encounter the woman picked up a pair of scissors from a nearby desk.  She refused to return them when asked.  From there, she departed the building and began to walk away.  At this point, WROI staff members contacted police and made them aware of the woman’s departure and that she had scissors from the radio office in her possession.  She walked to Main Street, passed Jarrety’s and turned onto 7th Street.  

Moments later, Rochester Police aided by the Fulton County Sheriff’s Department made contact with the woman on the street.  She was safely taken into custody.
