An almost fully naked woman was transported to hospital after creating a disturbance outside of the Kelowna police detachment on Saturday afternoon.
The situation unfolded outside of the RCMP detachment just before 1 p.m. on May 11.
Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey said officers attempted to de-escalate the situation and out of concern for her well-being, she was taken into police custody under the Mental Health Act and taken for a full medical assessment.

Witnesses are encouraged to come forward to RCMP with any additional information.
