Strongsville Police Blotter: Woman's 'Disorientation' Not What it Seems

Police were called to a church parking lot the morning on June 5 after a witness reported seeing a woman wearing a nightgown wandering in the parking lot.

A report said it took the woman 25 minutes to park her car, then she roamed around the lot during Mass, appearing to be disoriented.

Police spoke with a friend of the woman's who said it wasn't a nightgown -- it was just the way the woman's dressed. And she said she wasn't disoriented; she hadn't been to Mass in three years and couldn't find the entrance.
