The incident happened back on the afternoon of Nov. 7. Woodland police say the woman reported that she had confronted people who were reportedly vandalizing Campbell Park, only to have them throw eggs at her.

Medics were called to the scene and the woman was found to be suffering from a major cardiac episode.
