Davis police placed a man on a mental-health hold after he allegedly caused a disturbance at a South Davis motel early Tuesday morning.
According to Lt. Art Camacho, officers were dispatched to the Motel 6 on Chiles Road shortly before 2 a.m. after receiving reports that a motel guest had broken out the window of his second-floor room and thrown out several items, “one of them being a TV.”
The man was uncooperative with responding officers and appeared to be “emotionally disturbed,” Camacho said.
“They were fearing he might cause harm to other guests or himself, so they made entry and subdued him inside the room,” Camacho added. The man, a Southern California resident, was taken to Sutter Davis Hospital for a mental-health evaluation.
