wasn’t this a media release by the Shasta County Sheriff’s office?
I am not seeing that this “article” written by the “author” shows that this was actually released by the Shasta County Sheriff’s Department.
What they’re not covering is that he suffers from mental health illnesses, before he was released from prison he was on lithium which worked, but before his release, they took him off of it after that he started to become unstable and the new medication that they gave him was not working.
he tried seeking help different treatment options, but the resources were just not available for him. Eventually, he became so unstable that he relapsed and then he was kicked out of recovery program so then he was homeless and a lot of the resources. There are also pretty horrible because a lot of the phone numbers for a lot of these shelters that are listed online aren’t even active numbers, and when he tried to go back into recovery, the they offered him was available in the next 2 1/2 weeks, which is about the timeframe that this happened.
The system failed him California needs to do better. They need to do more for the homeless and for those suffering with mental health illnesses.
