"YDS has an established protocol in place to medically clear any youth prior to admission to ensure that they are fit for detention prior to YDS taking custody. This includes youth who are brought in and admit to being under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or having had been in car accidents, etc. Once youth are cleared by a hospital, YDS would take custody. Last night the youth in question were deferred for medical clearance and police made the decision to cite and release the youth."
