Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center went into lockdown Friday night and remained in “partial lockdown” on Saturday, a spokeswoman said, after protesters gathered outside the building some of them armed because they thought a patient inside, who had refused a COVID-19 test, was being held against her will.
Twenty-two deputies were called to the scene and all entrances to the building were secured, according to a statement from the Clark County Sheriff’s Office. No arrests were made but one man was pepper-sprayed by a deputy during pushing and shoving at the hospital entrance Friday night.
