After the first report of window-peeping, Phelps County authorities went to arrest Brown, but he barricaded himself in his trailer, threatening to kill himself or any deputy who approached. "A negotiator finally convinced him to surrender," Williams said.

Brown underwent a psychiatric examination at a local hospital, and a doctor declared him mentally fit and not a danger to himself or others.

This part does not make sense. They arrest him for peeping and he barricades himself (resisting arrest). But after an OK from a mental hospital they let him go with out prosecution.

What gives?

Sounds funny to me as well.

I thought that same thing. Why wasn't he the picked up by the local cops as soon as he was released from the hospital??
