A woman with tuberculosis who has a warrant out for her arrest due to refusing to take medication for the disease is still 'not in custody,' officials in Washington confirmed on Friday. The Tacoma woman, who NBC News notes has only been identified in court records under the initials V.N., has reportedly refused to take the medication on numerous occasions despite her infection. At one point, per an April report from Tacoma News Tribune, she was being tailed by a local officer who saw her getting onto a bus bound for a casino.
