A young asian male was found cowering in a closet of his own home after numerous calls to 911 for assistance. Police reports indicate that Johnathan Tran, 21 made several calls for help to local police, fire, and the Coalition Helping Intervene for Needy Kids begging for assistance and making statements that "oh chit the internet foun me you gotta helb me G" The calls were traced to a Sunrise residence, and after a search of the premises Mr. Tran was found hiding under a stack of clothes in the closet,holding a 22 caliber handgun, dehydrated and shaking uncontrollably. The young man was placed on a 72 hour hold due to his paranoid delusional statements made to police, a pychiatrist will be doing a mental health evaluation to determine his capacity.
Mr. Tran was quoted as saying " Its the sickness, there gonna get me, there in my computer and they can see me, dont let them in" . His mother and father were unaware their son was even home, as they had not seen him for approx 36 hours. Mr. Tran's computer was found in pieces, some were in his pockets and other were thrown from his window to the ground below.
It is still unclear what provoked young Johnathan Tran to such irrational actions, Jun Jun Esteban, a lawyer for the family read a prepared statement when interviewed.
" Mr. Tran is a young and mentally unstable individual, and the family and I are working towards a suitable solution outside of incarceration to help with his delusions. We apologize to the entire city for the incident and ask for your sympathy"
Mr. Tran is still in custody at this time.
