Plan of Correction
Taihla Rios filed an unusual incident report on February 3rd of 2023. I apologize for the late filing, and I understand now the correct actions Rios Recovery has to take when an incident like this occurs.
There is a police report on this incident and Jeremy Rios is in touch with the wrongdoer and is aware that she is not aloud near or on our premises at any time.
The window is fixed by Jack's Glass company in Allentown and Rios Recovery has pictures and receipts for proof. |
