Man with mental health history hides in backyard shed, Gainesville FL
Disorderly ConductPolice are searching for a 20-year-old man with a history of mental health hospitalization who is hiding in a backyard near northwest 22nd Drive. The man has been seen moving between a shed and a tree line while carrying a lawn chair. Officers have established a perimeter and are coordinating to prevent his escape, considering use of a K-9 unit. The backyard is partially fenced, allowing possible entry from neighbor yards. The man is conscious but not fully alert, and has asthma without using his prescribed inhaler. Dogs on the property are tied up. The man appears to be trying to avoid contact with officers.

He's sitting in the chair in the tree line on the east side of the yard towards a fence.
00:51
He's definitely trying to hide.
00:55

It's 928. In fact the Hotel 1 November 1. The caller is finding it looks like the subject was alone.
01:29
She'd walked through the home during the Zoom meeting and they hadn't seen anybody else.
01:32
Indicated she'd been recently hospitalized for psychological reasons.
01:36
Last was in September.
01:38
Yeah, I mean, I've never met him in a person, but I'm 99% on it.
01:42
Oh, I don't want 1026.
01:44
I did say junior.
01:47
He was out, I think he might have been hanging out in the shed earlier when we were here.
01:52
I'm pretty sure he came out of the shed and then went and grabbed a chair, now he's two him in the backyard.
01:59
Gulf one.
02:01
He's probably definitely going to run, so I'd have at least two minutes go around the east side neighbor's house.
02:09
That's just east of it. Go into his backyard and maybe two units come around the west side of his house in the backyard.
02:16
The dollars are tied up.
02:17
Yeah.
02:18
Sierra 723.
02:20
Good.
02:21
Hmm, you take a look about 50 Charlie, I just put y'all.
02:24
23 CC1 show you both responding feigning patient 10,0547 Northwest 14th place.
02:33
10547 Northwest 14th place Spine 76 year old female is conscious breathing who's not alert she is reading normally.
02:44
It's 9 31 hours.
02:50
I think that we surround him where he's at now.
02:54
Should we go without dog?
02:57
I want to go east or west and then go to that all for that kind of thing.
03:03
So a few things to know is his backyard fenced in?
03:07
Yeah, ten-four.
03:08
I'm on the other side of the fence.
03:10
From him, the north side of the neighbor's yard.
03:13
But he can run east into the neighbor's yard,
03:17
and then I think the west side of his yard is fenced in.
03:21
And he's in the shed or what?
03:24
He's sitting in a chair in that tree line that separates his east side neighbor's yard and his yard.
03:34
Right, so what's the plan because if it's completely fenced in, we won't be able to get in there.
03:40
So what is your plan as far as like getting to him?
03:46
Yeah, it's not completely fenced in. You can go in to the neighborhood yard east of him and have direct access. You can also go into his backyard on the west side, I believe they don't have a fence.
04:00
And I can keep an eye on them. If you guys want to make some noise, I can try to watch them. Go right back in the shed.
04:06
Oscar 1, 714.
04:08
Pulling up, Foxron 1. Are you on 36th Street?
04:13
All right, I'll take the 34th tarry side to the west.
04:18
767 of Gulf 1. I'm checking with ASO to start a dog that way.
04:23
767. So now we do want a cana.
04:26
Yeah, in Channel 2 I asked them, so I was just coming up on 1 and letting him know, you need 26 Gulf 1?
04:31
Oscar 1, 1014.
04:33
Yeah,
04:34
26. He's still sitting in the chair.
04:36
I'm having to move away from him to talk, so he's still sitting there.
04:41
I'm probably three houses west.
04:44
Not gonna pull too far, I'm just gonna stay where I'm out here, get eyes on the west side.
04:49
Oscar 19, 1250, 1014, all channels but one.
04:52
Julia, 1714.
04:53
1014. 104.
04:54
If you can,
04:56
try to get to the house just east of him.
04:59
and go on the east side of that house.
05:02
That's the only yard he has the right access too. I'm going to try to get eyes on his back door again in the shed, so just in case.
05:11
If you have, if the sergeant's trying to get a canine,
05:16
as long as you have a perimeter around the house, I think we're fine, we don't want to, like, push in and, you know, create exigency to, like, start moving. So, like, let's see what info we get for the dog. If you have eyes on where you're at, just stay there and then just, you know, kind of stay,
05:31
provide any 43[4] update, like, as it comes, but,
05:35
yeah.
05:36
Julia 1, 1014, all channels, but one?
05:39
I'll have to 1, 104.
05:42
1208, 1014, all channels.
05:45
Bravo one, the golf one.
05:47
Yes, it's a chain link gate that opens and closes on the east side of the house.
05:52
Yes, he has two chairs, keeps on the front yard side of the house that he sits in.
06:00
Entering the chain link fence gate, there's a large black and large brown pit bulls.
06:06
I want to say they're tied up because they didn't make it very far.
06:10
The dogs are tied up. I watched the little brother come outside and feed both of them. They're both on chains.
06:16
And he went to the front yard, grabbed one of those two chairs, and now he was sitting in the backyard and he was looking around.
06:24
He's definitely no one's got to work for him.
06:26
Yeah, I think his mom's out front looking around too.
06:32
I'm just more than him.
06:35
He's literally sitting in the push that he's trying to hide it on the phone as well.
06:40
Currently.
06:42
There one.
06:43
I was trying to send 14.
06:45
Sorry about that. You 105414 me now. 26.
06:49
See, 767-67 getting with A-a-2, reference K-9[3]. Is that 10-4[2]? Yes, please.
06:55
10-14[1]. 10-4[2].
06:56
Golf 1, alright, I got a new spot and I can see this shit.
06:59
I'm pretty sure he just popped out of earlier.
07:02
I can also see the back door, so I don't know for sure he goes back and then.
07:07
Same the 7th floor.
07:09
Golf 1, if you have your phone on you, I sent you photos of his son, not little brother, his son,
07:17
(name withheld).
07:18
He's 20 now.
07:20
Photos of him and of a suspect so you can differentiate.
07:24
I can do some much darker skin than that.
07:32
His hairstyle looks more like the jail photo that he had in a piece already along with the longer hair.
07:41
Okay, the darker skin is probably going to be the subject then.
07:45
Yeah, ten-four.
07:48
I mean, I couldn't see it, I just heard it,
07:51
but, so the only place he could have popped out was the shed here in the back door.
