Beware of this guy
The below article is about a guy that frequients both town squares he usually has on a Boston Red Sox hat. He goes around and shakes hands like he owns the place.

Re: Beware of this guy
You should probably just link this due to copyright considerations.
There must be more to the story than what you see here??? He sounds like someone who unfortunately needs to be on some kind of medication as well as in the care of a competent psychiatrist and/or psychologist. I wonder if he has been Baker acted ever? http://www.dcf.state.fl.us/mentalhea...ws/index.shtml http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_Act This is from the link-- "The Baker Act allows for involuntary examination (what some call emergency or involuntary commitment). It can be initiated by judges, law enforcement officials, or mental health professionals. There must be evidence that the person a) has a mental illness (as defined in the Baker Act) and b) is a harm to self, harm to others, or self neglectful (as defined in the Baker Act). Examinations may last up to 72 hours and occur in 100+ Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF; originally Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services, or HRS) designated receiving facilities statewide. Many things may occur after the examination." |

Re: Beware of this guy
"Richard Gere", as everyone in The Villages refers to him, has been around for a year or so. He's very odd acting and will usually salute the entertainers on stage when he enters the room/area. (That has become his trademark.) Stops in at Katie Belles, Margarita Republic, Bourbon Street frequently. Saw him a week ago in Ocala trying on hats. Very strange man! Beware!

Re: Beware of this guy
I had a serious run in with Richard Gere at KB's last year while there with friends seeing Rocky and Rollers.
He was bothering our group and wanting to dance with our wives. It was suggested very strongly by several of my buddies that he knock it off or he'd be getting more than he wanted. Funny that being confronted by several men he decided to leave. Had a KB employee I know tell me Gere was banned later from KB's for slapping a female server in front of KB's,sadly she didn't press charges when police arrived. |

Re: Beware of this guy
The poor man obviously needs help. Does anyone know if he has family or friends who can intervene and get him into a medical facility before he hurts himself or someone else. These are not the actions of a healthy person.

Under the Baker Act he can really only be held in a mental health facility for 72 hours + 5 days and then he has to go before a judge for a mental health evaluation. http://www.wearethehope.org/faq.htm#baker http://www.lakecountyclerk.org/faq.a...0Act%20someone |
