In the March 26 letter, attorney Stephen Craig pointed out that the family knew of Gotbaum's fragile mental state and her problems with alcohol. Still, Craig said, nobody accompanied her to the treatment program in Arizona.

Besides the city, the lawsuit also names the officers involved and Police Chief Jack Harris. It says the city and the police department have been "deliberately and callously indifferent to the care and safety of citizens" by allowing officers to be indifferent to people with medical conditions.
