ambien effect on brain injuries

[Benton]

Wouldnt touch it.

I covered two stories of the same guy who blamed Ambien and got away with the first crime (molesting his son). Said he had no recollection doing it. The other time he held his girlfriend at gun point, raped her multiple times, beat her and shot at the bed she was bound on. She escapes, but refused to testify against him, saying it was just the drugs he had been prescribed. Ambien and something for depression. The rape charges got dropped and he pled down to a lesser kidnapping, since she wouldn't testify on anything.

Maybe it was just that guy. Or maybe not. I know a guy who was visiting his folks in eastern Kentucky. Woke up one morning to find his dad stabbing his mom. When he said something, the dad sort of looked startled, then ran off and shot himself. Only thing he took was Ambien.
