Two sector information based we still hang up in the 5300 block of North Bristol, information 1245. Under 6.3 information pending. The crisis line reporting a possible suicidal subject. It's unclear if they think he's currently at the park or not, the War Memorial Park 659, North Jackson. They're stating he's possibly asleep in a tent there, but prior they were stating that he had a rope and was threatening to hang himself on a tree. Do you have a timeline on when he was allegedly doing that and now he's sleeping in a tent? I'm sorry, no, it came in as if it were in progress at 1245, it says wants to hang himself on tree and has rope now. And then at 1246, so a minute later it says he's asleep in a tent. Okay, you can have an officer call them if they want to call, if they have a big callback number to figure that out. But we're not going to go there if he's sleeping. Okay, 1247. Great, we're going to take it out of jail. That was in route to the jail?
