you see how skinny it was yeah dude it's
scary man i'm like
like i said i'm really happy you can get
ran over but i also don't know how you
didn't so
same i mean i am very happy for you
because otherwise you would have been
here but probably a little more crunched
up so
yeah that's very possible hey guys i
have a great video for you today
this one takes place on the freeway at
least that's where it begins
uh officers responded to multiple 911
calls about a male
standing in the middle of the road on
one of the interstates
i've included at least one of the 911
calls so you can get a
idea of what people were seeing and why
they called in about
him the officers find the mail get him
off the freeway
and then begin talking to him and
realize that he's
in some sort of mental health crisis
i really enjoyed watching the
interaction with the officers in the
mail in this particular case
it really shows how well-rounded our
officers are
and the amount of care that they have
for the individuals that they
they serve they end up getting them
someplace
get them taken care of and i hope you
enjoy
the interaction with the officers as
much as i did i'll see you later
9-1-1 what is the location of your
emergency okay

past broad street there is a man
standing on the inside lane
on the freeway we almost hit him

so you seem really upset man what's that
albus house yeah
foreign
okay do you are you medically okay
well i mean just i needed like you were
staying in a real bad spot man like for
a second i was thinking maybe you're
trying to hurt yourself or jump into
traffic
okay i'm not trying to be funny it's
just sometimes we have that you know
i mean that's a real dangerous spot i i
frankly i don't know how no one hits you
already so
i'm happy that didn't happen but um
okay what's uh what's your name buddy
do you know your social
what what spell your last name daniel
okay what's your birthday
[Music]
okay so you're not from here
cleveland okay
what's your middle name okay
so you're homesick and home as in
cleveland homesick
yeah okay
are you trying to get home is that
what's up so you're just hoping somebody
going north will pick you up and take
you home
okay so
what about um
so you're having issues with uh the uh
elvis house is that what you're saying
did they kick you out
you you walked out
is that being there is that contingent
on your probation yeah
okay well
here's the deal man uh i'm not trying to
mean you and i'm not
going down the route of charging you
either i just had to get you off the
road okay
but it is illegal it'll be on the
freeway unless unless you're like
if you're broken down and you're like
changing your tire or something like
that like you know you can be off on the
uh
the shoulder but it's it is one
yeah it's 100 illegal to walk on the
freeway okay
unless you have again like a legitimate
mean or uh i'm sorry uh
uh reason so um
even just thinking about if you were
trying to actually like
hit your ride yeah you're in the middle
lane man ain't nobody can stop
i i didn't see you until we were blowing
by you and i was looking
oh
dude oh you're lucky you didn't get
killed there man that's why i said to
you the first thing like dude we're
gonna get killed out here
that's that's why i was thinking that
you were maybe trying to hurt yourself
so
okay but you're not feeling suicidal or
anything like that
okay any drug it's okay if you are i
just need to i just want to know
alcohol
okay today
okay that's what's up good job
so okay so uh dan right daniel's
everything right yeah daniel what
what what do you think we can do for you
right now because i can't get you up
north okay
you don't know that was house will they
accept you back right now
i don't i don't know either so i'm sorry
safer on the freeway which which elvis
house were you at were you up there at
fifth
or ohio which one was that oh okay right
over there
building thing okay yeah we'll give you
a look back over there
34 723 north high street one of those
smart cities
[Music]
real quick before we go back there why
did you leave
is it just a homesick thing mainly the
home sector
is i mean i'm not trying to be funny is
there something are you scared of
somebody there like i can take you
somewhere else so
it's mainly the homesickness plus all
the [ __ ] they put on us
like waking up like at five in the
morning
so you're just having trouble with like
the structure there and all that yeah
okay
do you like again you know i'm just
asking general question i asked
everybody do you have any like mental
health issues or anything like that
okay what do you have going on with that
um and
basically after you heard the fats relax
i'm sorry what is it
fragile x i don't know i'm not familiar
so
what if that's a leg says you know you
have two chromosomes
yeah well basically it's on the noble in
my ex
homeless okay which means the exponents
on this your behavior
oh okay so it's like a birth defect type
okay
explosiveness bipolar yes
okay so you just kind of probably have
trouble regulating a little bit
okay that's all right well um
and the reason i'm asking like i mean
we've got some pretty cool places around
here too
like even if you're worried about you
know whether it's mental health or
anything like that and that's why i'm
wondering you know if alva's house
generally they put you there because of
you know things you have going on in
your life right so the reason i was
asking is because
there's not a lot of options but you
know i could even you know we could take
you to
the hospital we could take you to your
neck kids we could go to a lot of places
so that's the reason i was asking
because i
i don't want to put you back in the
position that made like in the same spot
that you ran away from you know that
doesn't sound very logical
to me yeah it really doesn't but but
i prefer that than you you know walking
on the highway
waiting to get frogger because i don't
want that for you yeah okay
so all right man that'd be very scary
for everybody
so yeah and i'm when i get mad
i'm used to like walking away and
like clearing my head well i wish more
people were like you
yeah you know i can't okay
gotcha well do you want to so if we go
over to the hospital you know you can
talk to the social workers that are
pretty cool i know you're not from here
but
um they could set you up they might
even be able to get you in a different
program or a different place
i can't do it i don't have those
it's very possible i mean i know i know
that they get people uh cabs and bus
passes i don't know if they can get you
all the way to cleveland but it's
possible i don't know honestly
but they would know you know what i mean
what do you think
it's whatever you want to do i just you
know if if you're having that much
trouble with alva
alva's house or a major you know just up
and
run out and then you know you're on the
freeway you know i
i don't i don't really want to put you
back in the same position that made you
uncomfortable you know
but i'm also scared if i don't go back
that my
judge is going to be caught when i go to
prison for three to five applause
well if you're at the hospital you'll
have discharge paperwork so you can
prove that
you were still receiving some sort of
psychological or mental or whatever
medical assistance and and i can even
give you a card
that said that you had an interaction
with us and they can reference
maryland do you want to go to the
hospital and say thank you okay
let's do that i mean i'm i'm hoping
maybe they can help you out
um you know because obviously like you
know because
so you're meds and stuff okay do you
take medication regularly then
okay so you i you have you not been
taking those no i
took my little fight today
okay well we'll get you over there okay
and we can
um talk to doctors they'll get you a
social worker and i mean you know it's
not
really the best option either but i
think it's a lot better than alva's
house since you wanted to leave there to
begin with you know
i'm sorry what's that buddy
yeah you're welcome
i'm sorry buddy what's up
yeah i'm sure they'll let you use foam
yeah
yeah you're all good we'll just walk you
in because it helps you skip the line
okay
yep yeah we're gonna get you uh
we're gonna get you that a-list pass
right there
are you cit i am not actually
you guys seem cool enough to be cit
well i mean we've been doing this for a
long time man i
we kind of i think you we kind of become
cit regardless if you want to or not
just working here so which kind of
cracks me up when people want to replace
us with social workers i mean
i'm sure they'll do a good job but i
frankly think i do better
and i can defend myself in case somebody
goes off the deep end
you imagine a social worker trying to
pull you out of the middle of a median
it's kind of scary right so we'll get
you bud we got you
all right um how long have you been down
here
okay well just remember too if you
really have any issues i mean
there's i think columbus is pretty good
for having resources and play people you
can call to help out right
it's a cool place yeah i mean
i'm not the biggest fan of cleveland
either so but
well there you go we got something in
common
yeah i understand
all right you want me rocket launchers
in here no
hand grenades no land mines
small animals
i don't think we're trying to hurt
ourselves or anything i think he just
he was trying to get out of the away
from now his house i think
yeah he said it's his coping mechanism
he has trouble regulating his
emotions and when he does get upset he
walks
so we're not we're not on a pink slip
level at all i just don't want him
inadvertently yeah i mean it was it was
that was that was it that was a real
risky one
yeah i don't do freeway it makes me so
nice that's it
i got into that in the section and i
just stood down like this
you see how skinny it was yeah dude it's
scary man i'm like
like i said i'm really happy you can get
ran over but i also don't know how you
didn't so
same i mean i am very happy for you
because otherwise you would have been
here but probably a little more crunched
up so
a lot less of you would have yeah yeah
okay
yeah that's very possible but now you're
in one piece and you're good so we got
you
they're really cool here too like i
don't know about cleveland but
i'll get you squared away okay and um
it will be possible after we do all this
can i call my
brother
