Tylor Chase Released From Short Hold, Back on Riverside Streets, Advocates Say

Advocates say legal limits on involuntary care hinder transfer to detox despite an available bed.

Overview

  • Chase was placed on an involuntary hold over the holiday period, with the reported duration ranging from 36 to 72 hours.
  • Shaun Weiss says the hospital released him overnight without notifying supporters who had arranged detox at Eleven 11 Recovery.
  • Jacob Harris says a follow-up evaluation found Chase of sound mind after a brief detox, and he declined to work with a rehabilitation coach flown in from Boston.
  • Weiss and others allege Chase was later seen smoking meth during an evaluation in freezing conditions, a claim not independently verified.
  • The Riverside Police Department says outreach officers have repeatedly offered services that Chase has declined, and supporters urge people not to give cash or film him.
