Congressman Cleaver aids woman in trouble

U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver came to the aid of a woman in distress on Friday.

The congressman was in Kansas City to attend a meeting regarding the Green Impact Zone and was riding in a car near 44th Street and Troost Avenue before 10 a.m. when he spotted someone waving a hand from a clump of weeds on the other side of the road.

Cleaver’s spokeswoman, Michele Rooney, said he alerted his staffer to stop the car and they both ran across Troost to investigate. Someone in another car behind them, who had attended the meeting with Cleaver, called 911.

Rooney said the woman, who may have been in her 40s or 50s, was frothing at the mouth and appeared to be going in and out of consciousness.
