A woman who has been refusing treatment for tuberculosis has been arrested, Prince George RCMP Cpl. Craig Douglass confirmed Thursday.
Freda Lynn Evans, 53, was apprehended last weekend, Douglass said, after a warrant for her arrested was issued Nov. 3 by provincial court associate chief judge Michael Brecknell.
Douglass said the arresting officer took precautions to avoid contracting the disease and added a mask was put over Evans's face as soon as she was in custody and then taken to Prince George Regional Correctional Centre.
