Not long after Connie Scott hung up the phone there was a pounding on the Scott's door. Before Carl Scott could answer the door, it was knocked in by John Doe. During the illegal entry into the home Carl Scott was hit in the eye and Jane across the face by the swinging door. Several people, including Kathy and John Tull, plus 16 year old John and his friends and several members of the Tull family were gathering around screaming and yelling. At come point they pulled Jane Doe out of her house and began hitting Carl. Connie Scott called the police, which in the end would do more harm than good.

When police arrived, 16 year old John Doe struck Officer Joseph Lager and was arrested. Kathy Tull assaulted Connie Scott by kicking her several times in her stomach, for which she was not arrested. Two of the officers present actually asked Jane whether she had made an appointment with an abortion clinic to which she responded yes.

Officer Darrell Howard arrived at the scene in his own car at which point he tried to give Jane anti-abortion literature in a manila envelope. It was learned later that Officer Howard had been at the Tulls house earlier that afternoon discussing ways to prevent Jane from having the abortion.

After this disturbance, the Scott's went to stay at a cousins house for the night. They had informed police as to their plans and the location where they would be.

That same day, Kathy Tull went to a local doctor, Dr. Bagby, a doctor that I remember well, as I was treated at the Blair Medical Clinic since I was a child. The name of the clinic has since changed to Blair Medical Group, not much of a difference and I can see that nothing else about this "group" has changed either. Dr. K.C. Bagby and PA James Jordon cooperated with Kathy Tull by giving her a letter stating that "any elective abortion could potentially cause medical and emotional damage to the mother at any stage in pregnancy" and that an abortion at 23 weeks "could be harmful" to the mother. This letter did NOT state that abortion at this stage is not only legal, but safer than it was to give birth. Kathy Tull then took the letter to the Blair Police Department.

At 12:30 a.m. on Thursday September 28th, 1994, the Scotts were awakened by police at their cousins house. More than ten police cars were present with several police officers. Blair is a small town, evidently they felt they needed the entire force to take one girl into custody illegally. The officers who arrived at the scene were Joseph Lager, Nicholas Thallas, Bernd Schedrer as well as county officers James Deemer, Richard Hillman and Julie Emswiler.

The police took the minor Jane Doe into custody for the sole purpose of preventing her from having an abortion. Police told the Scott's that Jane was being taken into protective custody, but offered no further information. The only thing they did manage to do was steal their child in the middle of the night, present to them the letter the Tull's had illegally obtained from Dr. Bagby and PA Jordon and to tell them that John E. Sampson, the County Attorney, had directed them to take Jane Doe into custody. The Scott's were also told that a hearing would be held the next morning at 9:00 a.m. and they were advised to get an attorney. They were not told where their daughter was being taken or what they intended to do with her.
