One person allowed the agitated man into his residence, hoping to help him.
Shortly thereafter, around 3 a.m. the homeowner called the police for assistance because the man began to panic further, and allegedly caused damage to the homeowner’s property.

He was taken to the Brockville General Hospital for medical treatment and was issued a future court date.
