The complaint also says Ingvalson was later transported by ambulance for medical care. The court filing describes statements she allegedly made at the scene. It also says law enforcement had several prior contacts involving Ingvalson during the past nine months. Those contacts included welfare and mental health-related calls, according to the complaint.
