Media Asked Not to Park on Clintons' Home Street

New Castle police ask press not to park on the Chappaqua street that leads to Bill and Hillary Clinton's home. State Department confirms that Hillary Clinton was discharged from hospital after being treated for blood clot in her head.

New Castle Police spent Wednesday evening trying to prevent media from parking on the Chappaqua street that leads to Bill and Hillary Clinton's home. 

A police officer told Patch that they are not to park on the road, which is Old House Lane, and that parking elsewhere is advised.

Police were spotted on Old House Lane, along with a broadcasting station's van, while a man standing next to what appeared to be a camera tripod was spotted in front of the home's entrance gate.

The appearance of media came around the same time of Wednesday confirmation that Hillary Clinton, who is U.S. Secretary of State, was discharged from New York-Presbyterian Hospital after being treated for a blood clot in her head earlier this week. The State Department confirmed her departure in a Wednesday press statement.

Clinton, the State Department confirmed, was admitted due to a Sunday follow up exam to check her medical status after she suffered a concussion in December due to fainting from dehydration. Clinton's dehydration was caused from a stomach virus, a State Department spokesman said.

"Secretary Clinton was discharged from the hospital this evening. Her medical team advised her that she is making good progress on all fronts, and they are confident she will make a full recovery. She's eager to get back to the office, and we will keep you updated on her schedule as it becomes clearer in the coming days. Both she and her family would like to express their appreciation for the excellent care she received from the doctors, nurses, and staff at New York Presbyterian Hospital Columbia University Medical Center."
