Invisible Children co-founder Jason Russell, who was involved in the making of the Kony 2012 video, was detained in San Diego yesterday morning after being found masturbating in public, vandalizing cars, running through traffic and screaming in his underwear. NBC San Diego reports:
Several people attempted to calm him down and when officers arrived they said he was cooperative.
“He was no problem for the police department however, during the evaluation we learned that we probably needed to take care of him,” said [Lt. Andra] Brown at a press conference. “So officers detained him and transferred him to a local medical facility for further evaluation and treatment.”
The SDPD suspects Mr. Russell was under the influence of something.
