Police Respond To Two Calls Involving Tonya Harding

POSTED: 11:14 am PDT March 14, 2007

Infamous Oregon ice skater Tonya Harding is back in the news.

Clark County sheriff's deputies responded to two calls early Sunday morning involving Harding.

According to the sheriff’s office, deputies received a call from Harding at Yacolt Towing around 5 a.m., reporting that four men and a woman tried to break into her car and steal it. Harding also said people were stashing rifles on the side of her property, police said.

The deputy said he was unable to find evidence and wrote that Harding's account was "very implausible." He described Harding as "very agitated" and frustrated that others couldn’t see the people she could see.

Harding told police she was on "new medication" and was experiencing an adverse reaction.

Later that same morning, police received another call regarding Harding, this time from a friend who told authorities the skater was "seeing animals."

The friend told police that she didn’t think Harding was violent but that she was “scaring her kids” and just wanted her out of the home.

The deputy took Harding back to her trailer on Northeast Sunset Falls Road and checked her home to "put her at ease."
