    In 2023, Defoor was arrested for trespassing at UC Health’s Psychiatric Emergency Services building and failing to disclose personal information. He was found not competent to stand trial and charges were dismissed.

    In 2024, he was charged with two counts vandalism for breaking a front window to a Hyde Park business. Records show DeFoor was granted “treatment in lieu of conviction” and treatment was still ongoing.

    Sounds more like mental health issues than anything else.

      Something about his previous arrests doesn’t sit right with me. There’s a lot of missing context.

      Regarding the 2023 arrest for trespassing, why was he trespassing at a psychiatric facility in the first place? Was he having an episode and shaking his fist at the system that continues to fail him or was he concerned about someone inside? Why would something like trespassing go to trial and to the point he was found not competent to even stand trial?

      I don’t know, there are simply too many missing pieces. And from too many of us the uncritical answer comes: “That man is crazy and has been all along.”
