BROCKTON — A Brockton woman should have asked before she leaped, police say.
Soeurette Laforce, 44, put her leg over a window ledge and went backward out a third-floor window Monday when police armed with arrest warrants burst in.
But police weren't there for Laforce, Police Chief William Conlon said.
They were there for her son Patrick Voltaire, 21, and another man, Berbick Bitton, 20.
“We are at a loss as to why she did that,” Conlon said.
Brockton and state police went to 18 Farrington St. at 6:43 a.m. Monday to arrest two men on drug charges. “They arrived, knocked and made their entry,” Conlon said.
When police got into the apartment, they spotted one of the suspects go into a side bedroom, Conlon said.
“His mother was in there. Several of the officers went in, wearing badges, jackets with the word 'police' across them, and he went to surrender,” the chief said. “As he surrendered, she backed up to the window, put her leg over the ledge and went out, backward.”
The woman was taken to Brockton Hospital, then airlifted to a Boston hospital.
Voltaire was arrested on a warrant for distribution of a Class B substance in a school zone. Bitton was arrested on a warrant for possession of a Class D substance.
The city Board of Health was also notified because the apartment was in “deplorable” and unsanitary condition, Conlon said.
