The PV has an adult son with some alleged mental issues. My client is a friend of the PV. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Last week the son “went off” (fist through walls in residence, verbal threats, and physical confrontation with PV’s neighbor.) Although the son was taken away for a mental evaluation, he was released. The son lives in a camper on PV’s property. PV admits that she is afraid of son but is unwilling to file for protection. (makes excuses for son’s behavior.) The police found weapons (gun and knife) when responding to the conflict last week. Given the lack of a criminal charges or anyone filing a protective order, I think the son can regain possessions of his weapons. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>My client has contacted a number of agencies and been told there is nothing that can be done.
