SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Court documents say a woman who drove her truck into a southwest Missouri health center was suffering from withdrawal and was angry because a doctor stopped prescribing her anti-anxiety medication.

The Springfield News-Leader reports that 58-year-old Andrea Gully is jailed on a felony property damage charge.

Documents say Gully was experiencing body shakes, anger and depression due to withdrawal from Xanax, which she had taken for years.

On Monday, Gully checked into a Springfield center that serves low-income, underinsured patients. Court documents say she drove through the clinic’s main doors after waiting a few hours. No one was hurt.

She told a reporter as she was being led away in handcuffs that she was upset she wasn’t being given “my medication.”

Her attorney didn’t return a phone message seeking comment Thursday.
