Overview
- Chase, 36, was released after an involuntary psychiatric hold in Southern California and was soon seen homeless again in Riverside.
- Friend Shaun Weiss said Chase smoked methamphetamine during a crisis evaluation and was observed barefoot without a coat in cold weather.
- Supporters had arranged a detox bed in San Clemente, but admission required his consent, and they say the hospital discharged him without notifying them.
- Riverside Police spokesperson Ryan Railsback stated officers cannot compel rehab or long-term psychiatric placement unless strict legal criteria are met.
- Earlier efforts included a hotel room provided by former co‑star Daniel Curtis Lee that was reportedly damaged, while Chase’s father has cited bipolar and schizophrenia diagnoses.
