A Washington State woman who was arrested by police who were told by firefighter personnel that she appeared to be "under the influence of some unknown intoxicant" was actually having a massive stroke that has left her functioning at a vegetative level, according to a lawsuit the woman's attorney filed in court last week.When Jane Carhuff began feeling unwell on the evening of Nov. 10, 2019, she called her supervisor and the post office and requested the next day off, according to a complaint filed by Carhuff's attorney in Pierce County against the City of Puyallup, the Puyallup Police Department, Pierce County Fire Protection District #6 and the Central Pierce Fire and Rescue.
