Description

The evidence as to both respondents was conflicting in part and subject to varying inferences and is only briefly outlined here. Mr. Butler had previously been admitted to the state hospital on three occasions and normally presented himself in a "dramatic, theatrical" way. The instant commitment was precipitated when Mr. Butler was informed that his brother had suffered complications from heart surgery and was in frail health. Upset by this news, respondent himself went to the hospital and asked to be admitted. While being escorted to a doctor, he became disorderly and had to be restrained. Officers then drove him to the police station for the purpose of charging him with disorderly conduct. It is alleged that during this trip respondent "threatened to use a police officers gun and shoot someone to get the death penalty reinstated." Upon his return from the station, an examining doctor found respondents mental state to be so disturbed as to constitute a danger to himself and others. A petition for involuntary commitment was filed the following day.
