Cops Trigger Involuntary Psych Hospitalization For "Hoarders" Sex Offender
The convicted sex offender/repeat felon featured last month on A&E's hit “Hoarders” series was involuntarily hospitalized last week after police found his car parked in a wooded area with a can taped to the vehicle’s tailpipe.
When Roger Sisson, who uses the alias Patrick Donovan O’Shannahan, was questioned by North Port Police Department officers, he told them that he “was not happy with his life,” according to an October 14 police report excerpted above (click to enlarge).
“Patrick advised that he no longer wants to live. He also keeps stating that I am ‘delaying the inevitable.’ He said that he has been institutionalized before,” reported Officer Melanie Turner. Sisson, 65, was handcuffed and transported to a local mental health facility pursuant to Florida’s Baker Act, which allows for the emergency commitment of an individual.
Sisson’s criminal history (and his “Hoarders” star turn) were the subject yesterday of a TSG story. He has also been investigated by a group of sleuths congregating at blogger Anita Wirawan’s online outpost.
