Jennifer Ann Lien, 41, who played medical assistant “Kes” in the first three season of Star Trek: Voyager, was arrested on two counts of exposing herself to a child under the age of 13.
Neighbor Carey Smith says Lien walked by her home on September 3 and commented on her crying children, saying they weren’t being cared for properly. “She started saying vulgar things. I mean really vulgar things, I told her to mind her own business and keep on walking,” said Smith.
That’s when things got weird.
“All of a sudden, here come the shirt up. She started flashing and, ‘Woo hoo,’ and I said, ‘And what respect is that for kids?’ There was none. And then she turned around and dropped her pants,” said Smith.
Worried that things might escalate, Smith called 911.
From ABC6 WATE:
When Roane County deputies visited Lien’s house, her front door was open. After knocking on the door, she yelled at deputies to come in.
Deputies said Lien was naked on her couch, covered by a blanket. She told the deputies she was expecting them.
Then dispatch told the deputies that Lien had an active warrant from the Harriman City Police Department. When they told her about the warrant, she said they needed to leave her alone, saying she wasn’t going any (expletive) where.
The two deputies repeatedly asked Lien to put on clothes, eventually calling for a female deputy. They said Lien told them she would have all of them shot and killed.
Eventually, deputies said the put Lien in handcuffs, putting a shirt and pants from the jail on her. They said she refused to walk to the patrol car and they had to carry her to the car, before driving to the Roane County Detention Center. Lien’s bond was set at $2,500.
Sad. Whether it was drugs or mental health issues, I hope she gets the help she needs.
