Overview
- The former Ned's Declassified actor was released after a brief hospital hold for evaluation and detox; supporters say it lasted about 36 hours, while other outlets described a 72-hour hold.
- Advocates Shaun Weiss and Jacob Harris say they secured a detox or rehab placement and a rehabilitation coach, but Chase has not consented to enter treatment.
- Harris and Weiss report a follow-up crisis evaluation found Chase in dangerous conditions, including allegedly smoking meth without shoes, yet he was not taken in.
- Riverside Police say officers and outreach partners regularly offer housing, mental-health and substance-use services, which he has declined, adding that they cannot detain him unless legal thresholds are met.
- Weiss and former co-stars urge people to stop filming or giving cash and to give Chase space as they coordinate with family and industry contacts on next steps.
