Two women had to "pyshically force" the third into a vehicle parked on Monroe St. accross from the police station, according to their statements. Police said, when the women were prepared to leave the parking lot, Elmore argued with them stating that their intoxicated friend "could stay if she wanted."
Police said, the driver of the vehicle began to drive away when Elmore opened the door of the car and told the driver, "If you try and leave I'm going to pull you out of the car."
