Vereta Tanner Lee states the following:
Prior to the report date, she was suffering from depression, difficulty sleeping, and uncontrolled diabetes. Her son, Keithan Lee, was injured on December 15, 2018 from being hit by a drunk driver of a stolen vehicle. As a result of the accident, he lost his right leg. Her medical condition deteriorated and she was placed on medical leave from December 15, 2018 through June 10, 2019. As she was off for the Christmas holidays, she did not need to request medical leave for this period of time.
