Former Trump campaign manager involuntarily committed, Fort Lauderdale police say
Former Trump campaign manager Bradley Parscale was involuntarily committed to a hospital Sunday by Fort Lauderdale police after his wife reported that he was suicidal, according to police.
Officers responded just before 4 p.m. to Parscale’s Desota Drive home in the tony Seven Isles area after his wife called about “an armed male attempting suicide,” according to a press release. Police said that Parscale’s wife, Candice Parscale, told officers “her husband was armed, had access to multiple firearms inside the residence and was threatening to harm himself.”
“Officers determined the only occupant inside the home was the adult male,” stated the release, which identified the man as Parscale. “Officers made contact with the male, developed a rapport, and safely negotiated for him to exit the home.”
Police say Parscale was detained and taken to Broward Health Medical Center under Florida’s Baker Act law, which allows officers to involuntarily commit a person who is a danger to themselves or others.
Tim Murtaugh, the Trump campaign’s spokesman, wished Parscale well and blamed Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans for the incident.
