(7,143 posts)The report stated that Hyde cited a variety of different names, contacts and provided information in reference to why he felt his life was in danger. After being taken into custody by the police, according to the report, Mr. Hyde continued to act paranoid telling us not to stop next to certain vehicles [H]e explained that he was scared due to several painting workers and landscape workers trying to do harm to him because they werent working. Additionally Mr. Hyde explained that his computer was being hacked by Secret Service. And then went on to further explain that the secret service [sic] was arrival [sic] on the premises watching him.
The police report said that it was determined that Mr. Hyde was suffering from a [redacted], that he was transported to [redacted] for further evaluation, and that a crisis form was filled and filed.
The report classified the incident as Baker/Marchman Act. In Florida, the Baker Act and the Marchman Act allow for holding people who might harm themselves involuntarily for assessment. (The Baker Act specifically refers to persons who might be suffering from a mental illness.) The report did not say what happened with Hyde after he was transported to the redacted location. But Hyde posted a note on Instagram stating that he had been Baker Acted for nine days and placed into a facility where his mental, emotional, and physical self were pushed. He noted that he had passed all medicals, physicals, psych exams and diagnoses with flying colors. Hyde, a former Marine, also wrote, Im not a traitor or a colluder or a conspiracy theorist. And he added, eff you and your intelligence agencies or whatever or whoever was or is effing with me.
