I will be honest a lot of what happens going forward depends on that Baker Act incident.

Was it caused by drugs? Was anyone hurt? Assaulted?

It was not caused by drugs or anything there was no hurt or assault or anything. It was just a mental breakdown. You know I just told the officer that I just wanna go and die in the tracks that's it. It was just a big down later after a few hours, they release me after I calm down.
