Man Kept Calling 911 To Report He Was Tired

(He probably needs a psychiatric evaluation)

An Indiana man who repeatedly called 911 to inform police operators that he was "tired" will spend the next two months resting up in a county jail, according to court records. Daniel Schroeder, 61, was arrested Tuesday night at his Evansville home in connection with a quartet of calls placed that evening to the police emergency line.
“The male caller kept calling in stating that he was tired,” according to a police report.

Schroeder’s calls about his weariness came a day after he pleaded guilty to a prior misuse of the 911 system. In the earlier case, he copped to calling police to report that he was upset that a female relative “was not following his rules.”

A judge ordered Schroeder to serve six months in jail, but suspended imposition of the sentence “on the condition the deft does not call 911 unless it is an emergency.” Schroeder violated that agreement the following day, prompting prosecutors to file a motion seeking the revocation of his suspended sentence.

Schroeder pleaded guilty Wednesday to his most recent unlawful use of 911. He was sentenced to 60 days in the Vanderburgh County jail on the misdemeanor charge. His sentence in the original case was amended to 60 days behind bars (to run concurrently with the latter case). Schroeder’s rap sheet includes four convictions for driving while intoxicated, as well as convictions for narcotics possession and leaving the scene of an accident.

1. Same look my dog has after I catch him doing something but he isn't sure what ...

I'd point out, his sentence is as stiff as what they've been handing out to Jan 6 traitors.

2. He's lost even when he is at home.

3. These bubble up and make me wonder, how many folks with mental issues are out there?

I have proposed at various times that any encounter police have with the public over an issue, the police should just assume, and treat accordingly, that the person is mentally ill or on drugs or both. It just seems to be the case more times than not. Assuming a person is of right mind and can understand and follow police direction is an erroneous starting point it seems and leads to lots of tragedy. The state of our mental health system is a shambles.

5. He looks sad.

Something has happened or is happening to this man that is causing him to act out like this. I hope he is able to get therapy or drugs that help level his life out.
