A female teenager jumped of the roof of a residence after taking acid, according to Covington police.

Police responded to a report of two teenage females taking acid on the 15800 block of Southeast 254th Place at around 8:20 p.m. on Dec. 12. The female who jumped injured her lower leg, according to Police Chief Kevin Klason. Klason said police kicked down the door to the residence after the female outside informed officers that the teenager inside the house was also under the influence and injured.

Klason said both females admitted to ingesting the psychedelic drug and were transported to separate hospital emergency rooms.

Klason said this type of incident is rare in Covington.

“I can’t say I’ve heard that one happen in my time here,” he said. “But acid, I’m told, can do rather odd things to your head.”
