Drunk nurse shot at neighbor’s apartment over piano noise, says Kathryn Pugh
An Arcadia, California nurse is accused of firing multiple bullets into a neighbor’s apartment. Due to her alleged use of a firearm while intoxicated at Pin Hsin Lin’s apartment in the 600 block of Sunset Boulevard, Kathryn Pugh was held without bond. This seemed to be driven by a lingering disagreement between her and Lin, a piano teacher.
sergeant. Ryan Mulhall of the Arcadia Police Department said, “We found an intoxicated female in possession of two weapons,” after her arrest on Monday August 1. She fired two shots in a ground floor apartment, as we later learned. She had a bottle of tequila at home when we found her, and she was pretending to be drunk.
Reportedly, the woman called 911 after two bullets allegedly pierced her roof and entered her home. Lin was reportedly inside the house when the shots were fired, so she could also have been injured. She said, “All of a sudden, a straight ball. I quickly dialed 911 after realizing the hole had been caused by a gunshot.

Lin went on to describe their conflict with Pugh, a registered nurse who in 2019 received a DAISY award from Huntington Health at Arcadia. She identified as a piano teacher who has been teaching students outside of her residence for nearly three years. And during those years, no one had complained about the noise, but when the accuser moved in, she started having problems.
Additionally, Lin reported that on Monday, she first heard a blasting sound around noon, which was followed by two more overnight. But it was not until the fourth shot that she realized that it was indeed gunshots since she could see one entering through the roof. She eventually discovered a second bullet hole in a kitchen cupboard. Lin continued, “The rice cooker was exactly under the bullet hole.
After his arrest, Pugh’s bail was initially set at $250,000 and later increased to $500,000. She was eventually jailed without bail by Judge Terry Lee Smerling, who described her as “a threat to the community”. For us, it’s really tragic, said public defender Karla Sarabia, before continuing: “Maybe until she is tried, so it could be months and in a major case like this , maybe even longer. She is about to lose her livelihood in addition to her job and her home.
Pugh’s mother, Marie, also expressed her displeasure. She claimed: “She has no background, she is a respectable person, she attended Berkeley, she had financial aid and she received a 4.0.” (weighted average). She is among the best people who have ever inhabited the planet. Although Lin said, “I’m afraid she (seeks) revenge,” Lin doesn’t feel the same way. On August 16, the accused is expected to appear in court.
As for the judge’s judgment, Fox News noted that it was quite the reverse of what Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon thought. “The District Attorney is firmly committed to key concepts that Los Angeles voters have embraced, including the goals of eliminating cash bail and maximizing bail within the bounds of public safety,” the office said. from the prosecutor in March.
