Around 7 a.m. the next morning, SPD responded to the same location about the same woman. Private security reported that she was inside a vehicle in the parking lot and was still refusing to leave. Officers said they contacted the woman and told her she needed to leave the property. She indicated that she was having vehicle issues, so officers said they requested a tow to assist her. Officers left the scene once the tow was requested.
