“God sent me to get a helicopter”

Puyallup Police Reports: Disturbed Man Attempts to Steal Helicopter from Good Samaritan

The following crime information from February 13, 2013 has been supplied by the Puyallup Police Department. It does not indicate a conviction.

FEBRUARY. 13, 2013

Involuntary Commit:  A man climbed the rear public access stairway of the Good Samaritan Emergency rooftop landing zone and picked up an emergency telephone, saying “God sent me to get a helicopter.” When hospital staff refused to give him rooftop access, he scaled the stairway railing, breaching security and went up to the rooftop. He did not find a helicopter there and reentered the building. He was clearly off his medication and was involuntarily committed for mental observation. Good Samaritan has changed their rooftop access protocol and will be fortifying the gate after the incident, police noted.
