Harding was not on illegal drugs, friend says

YACOLT, Wash. -- Tonya Harding is in the news again, and Linda Wilmot wants to make sure the public knows her view of the truth about her friend.

Wilmot is concerned that a series of episodes involving Harding on Sunday will be misinterpreted as something more than a bad interaction between Harding and some asthma medication. Wilmot also disputes media accounts of a 9-1-1 phone call from her home about Harding.

"I just want people to know the truth -- that she was not on illegal drugs," Wilmot said.

According to authorities, Harding first called 9-1-1 at 4:50 a.m. Sunday from Yacolt Towing in north Clark County. According to police records, she reported that about 30 minutes earlier, four men and a woman tried to break into her vehicle and stashed weapons on her property, said Sgt. Tim Bieber of the Clark County Sheriff's Office.

She said the suspects followed her and a tow truck driver to the tow yard and one, a man wearing a beanie cap, was sitting outside the door, Bieber said.

Harding told a deputy who was sent to the business that she was on new medication and was having an adverse reaction to it, he said.

The deputy called her story "implausible" and said she was "agitated" and was "glancing everywhere," Bieber said.

She was "frustrated that others can't see the people she sees," the report said.

At 9 a.m., a woman called 9-1-1 from her home just north of Yacolt to say a friend -- who turned out to be Harding -- was at her home "tweaking out, seeing animals," but was not violent, Bieber said. The woman, who called anonymously and didn't want Harding to know she was calling, said she wanted Harding to leave.

Bieber said a deputy took Harding home and checked her property but found nothing amiss. The deputy advised Harding to see a doctor, he said.

Wilmot said later at her home that she was the friend who called authorities. But she disputed accounts that she was concerned for her young children.

Only her 17-year-old son was in the home at the time, Wilmot said.

When the dispatcher asked if there were children in the home, she said yes. When the dispatcher asked if the child was OK, Wilmot says she said something like, "He doesn't need to see this."

But Wilmot would not offer details about what Harding said or did inside her home.

Whatever Harding did was the result of bad medication, Wilmot said.

Wilmot said Harding was taken later Sunday to Legacy Salmon Creek Hospital, held overnight, then released on Monday.

"She was taken to the hospital by the ambulance," from a shopping center in Battle Ground, Wash. "Her breathing -- her asthma is so bad her breathing capacity was only 51 percent. They only kept her overnight and then they released her."

On Wednesday, Linda L. Lewis, Harding's friend and manager, released the following statement in an e-mail from Texas:

"Tonya had changed her over-the-counter allergy medication. She then went to the doctor with pneumonia symptoms. She was prescribed antibiotics and cough syrup and given a breathing treatment. She has been very ill, and her breathing capacity was very low. I was in contact with her and can tell you firsthand that I was very concerned about her breathing difficulty and how ill she was.

"Tonya asks that everyone please respect her privacy so she can continue to get better."

No one at Harding's rental house on a remote stretch of the East Fork Lewis River would answer the door Wednesday, although someone inside with a low, raspy voice apologized for having "laryngitis" and asked the reporter to leave.

Tonya Harding & Courtney Love should get together and play

Courtney Love is the first person I thought of when I read the headline. I was also thinking Britney Spears.

Really - who is Harding? She fell off the face of the earth years ago. I guess the media can't let it go.
