NARRATOR: Not only did triage at the jail I was arrested at report that I had no mental health issues and not on any drugs or alcohol; but also, on October 30, 2020, the police came to a hotel I was staying at in Atlanta, GA, to conduct a welfare check. They then reported it back to the local police in Florida, which released a press release, stating that I was of ‘sound mind and body, and there willingly’. Guess who knew which hotel and room I was staying at to have the police conduct the welfare check?
