The 16-year-old girl presented to the hospital for an unspecified treatment but fled the facility, “battering three employees in the process,” according to the local news outlet and police report. 

The teen faces aggravated assault charges and burglary charges. The latter is tied to the teenager’s break-in of a nearby baseball complex after she fled the hospital, where she stole several bottles of liquor, according to police. 

Jacksonville Memorial is a 93-bed hospital in West Central Illinois.
