I think I would go medieval on their butts.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Yeah, and be committed back to the middle ages.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

He was not in the best shape before but it is correct to say that they certainly managed to do further damage. Damage that can probably never be mended.

The worst of it is how it shows how this happens. One person in the bureaucracy did not do his job. And no one could be persuaded that was the problem. In fact they probably felt it would be wrong to double check.

[Jonty30]

I hope he wins millions.

[Fester Chugabrew]

“Book ‘em, Dan-o.”

Good luck with the lawsuits, and with appropriate criminal prosecutions.

[lee martell]

He had a total of seven public defenders, and none of them dug any deeper to find out who he really was.
Criminal negligence, on top of other crimes.

One lesson; don’t take a nap on a public sidewalk, especially on a sidewalk right next to a homeless shelter.
And if you do take a nap on a sidewalk anyway, don’t get belligerent or rowdy when a security guard wakes you up.

Man arrested, stuck in mental hospital for more than 2 years after being mistaken for someone else

Officials put the wrong man in a mental facility for 2 years. When he objected, they called him ‘delusional.’

[Deaf Smith]

A Clockwork Orange.

"Sorry about that.

Here's your 4 bits.

You're free to go.

We're good...right?"

[mabarker1]

After I sued every last one of them from the arresting cops, all the alleged public defenders, judge(s), staff at facility, “doctors” other medical personnel, ANYBODY ELSE WHO WAS INVOLVED. AND I MEAN SUE THEM AND THEIR RELATIVES, EVEN THE DOGS UNTIL THEY ARE LIVING IN A DUMPSTER !!!

Then drag them down to the blood bank and donate ALL of their blood.

I better stop before I get in trouble....

The court settlement should yield enough for Spriestersbach to buy a nice home and maintain it for the rest of his life.

[algore]

How is this substantially different than what has been done to every other human on the planet in the last 2 years ?

[ApplegateRanch]

So, when do they sue him for being in the mental facility under false impersonation, and demand he repay all the expense of his upkeep & “treatment”?

Wouldn’t put it past them, to try and cover their sorry rears.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

And if you do take a nap on a sidewalk anyway, don't get belligerent or rowdy when a security guard wakes you up.

He didn't.

He was polite and cooperative and willing to move on.

Even apologized.

But the Police Officer who had already decided who he was was having none of it.

Oh, the guy they supposedly mistook him for? Already in prison. In Alaska.

Which they would have know if they had bothered to check either man in the system.

[Jamestown1630]

Going lawsuit will yield a much happier ending...

[KittyKares]

This is really terrible. And then they just drop him off with 50 cents and drive off. You can’t make this up.

[faucetman]

Mistaken identity?

He didn’t KNOW who he was? /s
