Army Reserve,Soldier,Mental Health

An Army Reserve soldier's deteriorating mental health raises concerns among his family and fellow soldiers, leading to interactions with sheriff's deputies and his unit. The soldier's son and ex-wife express concerns about his paranoia and anger, while his Army Reserve unit promises to find him help. The soldier accuses his fellow soldiers of derogatory remarks and locks himself in a motel room.

Here's a look at some of the interactions he had with sheriff's deputies, his family and members of his Army Reserve unit, as gleaned from statements made by authorities and documents they released:On May 3, Card's 18-year-old son and ex-wife told a school resource officer in Topsham, about 15 miles southeast of Lewiston, that they were growing concerned about his deteriorating mental health .

“During the four hours I was with Card, he never spoke, just stared through me without blinking,” an unidentified soldier in the unit wrote in a letter to the Sagadahoc County Sheriff's Office. Card was polite when notified of the denial, mentioned something about the military and said he would “come right back” after consulting his lawyer, LaChapelle said.On Sept. 15, a deputy was sent to visit Card's home in Bowdoin, about 10 miles southeast of Lewiston, for a wellness check.

“He also said I was the reason he can't buy guns anymore because of the commitment,” the soldier wrote.
