He has a history of methamphetamine use. On this particular day, he had not made any threats of violence, was not suicidal, and was not homicidal. He had not committed any crimes. However, his pre-hospital behavior resulted in him being brought to the ER.</p> <p>When talking with him, he was visibly paranoid and regretful of the decisions he had made in his life. He was worried about people talking about him and spreading lies. He stated multiple times that he just wanted good for everyone and couldn’t understand why people were speaking poorly of him or blaming him for things. He expressed repeatedly that he did not want to hurt himself or anyone else.</p>
