(KNSI) — A man suffering from a mental health crisis was hospitalized after spending more than three hours on the roof of a home in Big Lake.
Police were called around 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday when he refused to get down and said he had a weapon. Officers from the Big Lake Police Department, Sherburne County Sheriff’s Office and the Mental Health Co-Responder team kept an open line of communication with the man, and he eventually agreed to come down.
He was taken to a hospital to be treated for self-inflicted wounds and weather-related injuries.
