Henning was taken to a local hospital and later admitted for observation, according to police chief Sean Wallace. She was cited in connection with the case.
Two people with her at the time of the initial incident, John William Kimple IV, 19, and Brittany Nicole Anguiano, 19, were contacted at the hospital and also cited.
