I was driving the other day and thought I saw the man that attacked me standing on the corner. I kept going, and within a block or so had a major panic attack ... the whole bit, sweating, chest pain, the feeling I needed to run and hide somewhere. I was positive I was dying right then, and of course pulled over right away; I knew there was no way I could drive and my kids were with me too.
The thing is, I thought I'd pulled into the Kroger parking lot, but stupid me was two driveways off and instead I pulled into the parking lot for the fire department. I was sitting there just gripping the wheel and waiting for it to pass when one of them noticed me. A county LEO was there and he wanted me to go to the hospital, but I refused, knowing it would pass, and he was going to arrest me!
The EMT's there convinced him I'd be okay in awhile, and sure enough I was. So my question is, can I be arrested for a mere panic attack? I was no danger to anyone, just needed to stop for a few.
