Kim Richards made an unusual call to police over the weekend, prompting police to respond and conduct an investigation into Kim… TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum was visited by LAPD on Sunday afternoon at a home owned by her sister, Kyle Richards.
Cops say Kim told police someone took her cat – only to return it later – before she started talking about ongoing issues with Kyle.
This behavior set alarm bells ringing for officers on scene… they called the mental health team to assess the 60-year-old.
After speaking with Richards, we were told that the mental health assessment team concluded that Kim did not meet the criteria for involuntary detention because they felt she was not causing harm to herself or others.
Paramedics were also sent to Richards' apartment, but left shortly afterwards and no one required medical transport. We have been told that police have taken no further action regarding the cat complaint.
We told the story…Kim was put on one psychological support back in September, after sources told us that cops were called to an LA-area Hilton hotel.
We're told Kim was confused when officers arrived, but she refused to leave when asked – and was eventually transferred to a 5150 emergency call.
Later that month, cops showed up at a home Kyle owned…concerned neighbors called hoping to have Kim removed from the home. Law enforcement sources say Kyle told them she didn't want Kim in the house either.
At the time, sources told us that the Richards family had cut off all contact with Kim in hopes of bringing her back to sobriety because they feared for her survival. As far as we know, they are still not in contact with each other.
We have contacted Kim about this recent police visit…no response yet.
