Overview
- Chase was placed on an involuntary 72-hour psychiatric hold in the Riverside area for evaluation and was later released, according to multiple reports.
- Shaun Weiss, a friend and former child actor, says Chase was seen smoking methamphetamine during a crisis evaluation and left without shoes or a coat.
- Supporters arranged a detox and treatment bed in San Clemente, but they say he declined to enter or did not remain because admission required his consent.
- The Riverside Police Department says officers cannot force long‑term treatment since he has not met the legal standard of grave disability or immediate danger.
- Earlier attempts to stabilize him included a motel stay arranged by ex‑co‑star Daniel Curtis Lee that ended after reported property damage, following months of viral videos showing him homeless.
