June 18 — Jamie K. Dishman, 57, of Seaview, was charged with third-degree assault after an officer was notified by hospital staff that an RN was bitten by a patient. The victim had a clear and visible bite mark on her left forearm. She told the officer that Dishman was being chemically restrained and she was calming down. The nurse also told the officer that Dishman would likely not be discharged anytime soon as she needed to be on an IV for an infection. When Dishman is discharged she will be booked into jail. “ER staff are the unsung heroes of a community. If people knew all they have to deal with they would be shocked,” LBPD Chief Flint Wright observed.

June 23 — An employee at Long Beach Tavern reported that a named subject was drunk and banging on the tavern windows and yelling.
