Police have been called to a home, reportedly owned by former campaign manager for President Donald Trump, Brad Parscale, after his wife reported he was armed and might hurt himself.


The incident unravelled on Sunday afternoon in the Seven Isles community of Fort Lauderdale on Florida's southeastern coast, where Parscale and his wife Candice own a house, the Sun Sentinel reported.



Upon arriving to the scene, officers were reportedly told by Parscale’s wife that she was having concerns about her husband’s well-being since he was allegedly threatening to harm himself and had multiple firearms at his disposal inside the household.


Police met no resistance from Parscale, who was alone in the house, as they moved in, with Fort Lauderdale Police Chief Karen Dietrich telling the Sentinel that they “went and got him help.”

Parscale was taken to hospital under The Florida Mental Health Act, commonly known as the Baker Act, which allows law enforcement to subject a person to involuntary confinement if they pose a threat to themselves or others.
