PINELLAS PARK \u2014 A Seminole woman was arrested Dec. 3 on an attempted murder charge after police said she used a power cord from her ankle monitor to strangle a nurse at a Pinellas Park psychiatric facility.<\/p>\n
Pinellas Park police said Karen Dedert, 58, attacked a registered nurse at Windmoor Healthcare, 11300 U.S. 19 N., by wrapping the cord around the nurse’s neck and tightening it.<\/p>\n
Police said they were called to the facility after reports of an assault. The nurse sustained injuries consistent with strangulation but is expected to recover, according to police.<\/p>\n
Dedert was a patient at the facility at the time of the attack, police said.<\/p>\n
According to police, Dedert was already out on bond for a separate attempted murder charge filed by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office on Nov. 4.<\/p>\n
She was arrested and taken to the Pinellas County Jail, where she faces an additional attempted murder charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PINELLAS PARK \u2014 A Seminole woman was arrested Dec. 3 on an attempted murder charge after police said…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2598,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[596,4226,44389,3883,202,204,203,199,201,200],"class_list":["post-79235","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-st-petersburg","tag-pinellas-county","tag-pinellas-park","tag-pinellas-park-police","tag-seminole","tag-st-pete","tag-st-pete-headlines","tag-st-pete-news","tag-st-petersburg","tag-st-petersburg-headlines","tag-st-petersburg-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79235"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79235\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
