Man taken to hospital after family members requested help of emergency services

By Spencer Burt

A man was taken to the hospital Tuesday night after officers and emergency services responded to a 911 call coming from the area of 600 East and 200 North in Logan.

The man's daughter called around 7 p.m. to report that he was having a mental breakdown. He was not armed or dangerous, but he was "not responding to reason" and the family feared for his own safety, Capt. Tyson Budge said. Two police officers, an ambulance and a fire truck responded to the home. The police went to the door to talk to the man, then escorted him to the ambulance where emergency medical technicians assessed him.

"He's not remembering his own birthday or anything," an EMT on the scene said while examining him.

The man was transported by ambulance to Logan Regional Hospital for further examination. Budge said he went willingly.
