DanvillePDReport

At 2:36am Friday, the Danville Police Department received a report of a suspicious individual in the backyard of a residence on the 600 block of Park Hill Road, near Morninghome Road.

The individual was described as a Middle Eastern male, wearing a blue hoodie and blue pants. Witnesses reported that he appeared disoriented and was running as if fleeing from someone. Notably, the man was seen with what appeared to be a handgun and repeatedly urged a witness to contact the police.

Danville officers, supported by Sheriff’s Deputies and a K9 unit from an allied agency, conducted an extensive search of the area. The search included the deployment of a small Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) equipped with thermal imaging to cover a broad area effectively. Despite these efforts, including door-to-door inquiries and notifications, the individual was not located.

    I honestly think it’s marijuana use it is turning so many people crazy!
    They tried to sell it to the public that it was ‘just like glass of wine’ and how it had medical benefits…. but it’s very common for people experimenting with it to get psychotic. Whatever your problem is it magnifies it. It’s not your hippie relaxation dope anymore.
    Remember the Alaska Airlines pilot that just experimented with it a day before a flight home- to supposedly mellow himself out of recent stress- and then he tries to crash the plane. Something that was totally out of character for him.

      Please don’t continue to repeat this false narrative. The pilot blamed his confusion on psychedelic mushrooms, not marijuana. This is not the first time that I have pointed that out to you. Marijuana is not harm-free, but neither is the apparent witting propagation of a false narrative.

      Mental health issues. Nothing to do with marijuana.

    Fact check: there is no reporting on marijuana or hippies or suicidal pilots in this story.
