And who knows maybe his sugar was low from not eating & that makes one very irritable..

My family attempted to have a member put on a 72 hour hold, and the police deemed it not necessary. Within 24 hours, the family member was behind bars on charges of assault with a deadly weapon. If the State of Florida expects LEOs to enforce the Baker Act, then they should be better trained! Unfortunately, the Baker Act only works when you have police officers willing to enforce it.

He was always very polite and helpful when I was looking for a job right out of high school. I hope he can fix these problems. He's no loser, he helped a lot of people in a job way back when.

As far as I know, it is now and always has been that 2 family members can sign and have him baker acted for 72 hours in a mental facility. This should start getting him help. I hate to see people in a condition such as this, and in no way do I see anything funny about this! This man should not have been arrested, he should have rather been baker acted and gotten help started!

Curt has to want the help before he is going to get any better. I have experience his behavior personally and it was very disturbing and heart breaking. He can be calm one minute and in a rage the next.... he does need help... but no one can make anyone get help if they don't want it.

I pray for him and his family. He proably just needs a ride in the country with a friend who will tell him, Curtiss you are all over the road, get back between the lines. I look for him to bounce back. Mr Coe offered an interesting perspective and insight to Mr Smiths condition. I pray for him and his family.

They have done all they can do it is hard to get an adult put in a mental facility with out a court order. And if the man wants help for himself he can put him self in there. But also you have to have a doctor to write the order up.. You all are so quick to judge family and friends not that easy.. Now the people that arrested him should of took him in as 51/50... instead of putting him in jail go after the police dept not family or friends !!! That is where the help starts !!!! The man was out of his head come on people the police dept should of taken him to the hospital as a 51/51 and let the doctor make the call as a mental person instead of getting his cut feet looked at . They only wanted the bail money as far as I see it instead of getting the man help . You all need to stop picking on the family !!
