So he parks near work illegally so he can clock in- so that his pay isn’t docked- then he’s going to drive to his parking lot and return to work- and get paid to do all this instead of showing up for work on time. He’s in the same group as employees who take extra long breaks, “step out” multiple times a day for a quick smoke, hide out in the storage room on their phone… While their co-workers are getting paid for actually working and they are slacking.

[@simplymeconnie4003]

Jeff, you handled him exactly how you should have. I worked in mental health and if a person is out on the streets and acts a hot mess, they get treated just like everyone else. Mental health issues or not. I saw good things happen even though this was a chit show. You didn't treat him with kid gloves. "Someone could have died!" It clicked with him and snapped him out of it. Calling him on trying to break into your yard, he realized that was wrong and apologized. His car is probably his most beloved item right now as many people with mental illness tend to have 1 item that makes them happy. Did he learn with you? Absolutely. The restaurant sounds like they came at him aggressively, which only amped him up more. You were calm and collected, which resulted in a better outcome for you than the restaurant

I don't think that mental I don't think that mental immaturity equals to poor mental health. It's common knowledge that the male frontal lobe doesn't develop until after their 25 years old. The kid was just mentally immature because he was never taught otherwise and he never took it upon himself to learn otherwise. Is that a mental health issue? Yeah kind of but it all has to do with being responsible for your own self.

[@bluedragonfly8139]

When you're yelling at and/or threatening other people, you give up any expectation of 'understanding' or 'forgiveness' from the people you're threatening. Having mental health issues don't excuse acting the way this person did.

I have a grandchild that has suffered from mental issues and cutting was one thing we had to deal with. It's very sad to watch someone you love be in that condition. Thankfully with therapy and proper medication their live has improved. Thank you Jeff for being an understanding man. Mental health issues have never been address much. Society and a lot of the medical community think putting them in a facility with other people with issues is the best answer. It can be devastating for many. One on one theraphy helped my family the most.

Yes, it is heartbreaking seeing someone you love struggling like that. I'm delighted to hear your beloved was helped successfully.

[@hamrad645]

I also have a nephew who has been mentally incapacitated since birth. He is now in his 50's, but my sister cared for him for 40+ years before she passed away. Still, I know my nephew would NEVER have behaved the way this young man did. I also have a niece who is bi-polar, and, of course she will always have some issues, but she is far more intelligent and controlled in her behavior than the young man in this video has ever been. I seriously feel a lot of sorrow for those who have mental issues, but I was struck by the impression that this guy was just making excuses, as far too many entitled people do these days. I am not without sorrow for that mental condition, but if he is that handicapped, he needs to be cared for, not allowed to roam around and raise he__ with everybody else. I have another relative who does whatever she darned well wants to, whether it's drugs, booze or whatever she happens to want to do at the moment. Her driver's license has been revoked (permanently??????). she's had several cars impounded because she's driving without a license, she was/is hooked on drugs and is basically her own worst enemy. She has absolutely no respect for anyone and I don't want to be around her. If this young man really does have mental issues, I pray that he gets the help he needs. However, I do believe that children and teens have to learn to deal with not getting their own way all the time, and by the time they reach adulthood, they should know and have sense enough to control themselves. Every action one takes is going to have consequences, good actions generally result in good/happy consequences. Bad actions, on the other hand are going to eventually result in bad consequences, and if there's one thing I can't stand it's that sense of "entitlement" that has permeated our entire nation. The world doesn't owe anyone anything.

[@davemoulton2971]

I have a son who is 22 and suffers from severe anxiety, bipolar, and psychotic delusions. When he is consistently on his meds he is very manageable. When off his meds or self medicating, this would be him. Yes confronted with the fact his actions almost killed someone he would be very apologetic, but faced with not having something he really wanted, his anxiety would kick in and he would act just like this guy waiting at the gate. My son is spent some time homeless and months in a physic hospital. He is now at a group home under constant supervision and is doing a lot better. Unfortunately the drugs he has done in the past have done irreparable harm. This young man does suffer from severe anxiety and other issues, based on his actions. I pray this young man can get the help he needs. Thanks Jeff for being understanding with him.

[@masonj4779]

Isn’t it funny how some of you in the comments excuse their behavior on anxiety and mental disorders when in fact it’s due to lack of parenting and allowing these children to dictate the rules since they were born. Stop making excuses for these worthless people

Right, the guy is obviously stressed out and isn't capable to handling it. I honestly feel bad for the kid.

[@NiteCreature666]

He was looking for an entry point therefore he WAS trying to break in.

[@jd-zr3vk]

He was looking for an entry point, yeah, he was trying to break into the yard.

[@markm.9968]

Mental heath issues are rough on anyone involved. Doesn't justify his actions at the time, but bravo to the kid for owning up to his actions & being aware he has issues to overcome. Jeff's approach was perfect. Stern disapproval & reprimand for the kids inappropriate actions, yet showed the kid grace once he returned with the $. 🤙

I feel like we all did not need to know the kid had marks from cutting himself. Kind of something that didn't need to be mentioned on the world wide web.

Trying to break in? That’s a little bit exaggerated by the video I saw. Was he acting strange yes. Maybe something is off with him mentally or substances.

[@TonyRule]

Asperger's would be my guess.

[@rory1461]

I totally agree! The ‘trying to climb under the dense’ is a terrible accusation for someone who was looking at the tow yard.

People like him that can switch from pitching a fit to acting all cordial genuinely scare me due to how unpredictable they are. I prefer to deal with people that are just straight up assholes because at least I know what to expect and can handle them accordingly. Same reason I stay far away from drug addicts, homeless, SMI and drunk people; you never know what’s going to happen next or what’ll set them off.

[@robingalbraith323]

Yes because all of the older people he tows, don't whine, just accept being towed and the cost, never complain. Never ask why it's so much or for a discount. Never complain. Always calm and collected. 😂😂

[@TheRealdal]

I don’t think he was trying to break in. He’s just got high anxiety and mental issues. He was just trying to get you there faster.

[@madpistol]

BINGO! The signs of anxiety are all over the place. He wasn't trying to break it. He was doing mental gymnastics trying to figure out how to make the process go more quickly. The last thing anyone with high anxiety wants is to go to jail.

Where in the video did he try to climb under the fence? I watched the video a couple times but only saw him waiving his hand under the fence a couple times. He also never said he was trying to climb under the fence. Is there a time stamp to his knees making contact with the ground actually making an attempt to go under the fence??

[@iffykidmn8170]

tow operator also in the video stated back to the guy that he would be there between 3 and 3:30.

[@mcsgary]

Hey Regan, I agree. I don't fault Jeff, and I wasn't there but I understand he was not mentally stable. But I don't think he was really trying to break in. Certainly suspicious and wierd. But I am wierd too in my own way. I am glad it turned out how it did. Love you and Kristin (does she use i or e? My daughter is Kristin. My wife has relatives in Sevier County and we are there occasionally, don't park and don't go to Gatlinburg. Take the bypass. Love watching you both and Jeff, you are fortunate to have Kristin.

I like how you took care of the issue with the guy by letting him know you could have the cops deal with him trying to get into your lot and how you gave the cops a heads up on what he was acting like incase you needed help

You handled the guy fine. He had mental problems, you still had to do your job and you talked to the police to make sure you and your family and employees were safe, and you met him with directness and compassion. You handled it fine.

HE CLEARLY HAS A MENTAL ISSUES wuth those people Jeff is very touchy forgiving him is one thing for his action. Ironically the footage does not show where he was trying to get in it shows him bending over at the fence maybe you have another angle we did not see? But none of what you said tanspired in that footage maybe that is why you dropped it? the police would have needed the footage to make a arrest.

Hopefully the things you said will remain in his mind when he gets upset and stressed. THIS INCIDENT is definitely something to make all of us aware that we never know what someone else may or may not do. Always keep your head on swivel.

[@GretchenReilly-vm8ig]

He reminds me of a student i taught who was on the autism spectrum: poor impulse control, lack of perspective, poor decision making skills and poor emotion regulation. It was hard having someone like that in a classroom, but I also know our society needs to find room for individuals like that. If we don’t make room for them in our communities, then we’ll have to make room for them in our prisons. The cutting makes me sad because it is a sign of serious distress. Hopefully he has honestly learned not to park in an emergency lane.

[@OhBuoyancy]

I’m with you. It’s rare I feel sorry for the illegal parkers but this guy needs help. Possible he’s undiagnosed or off meds. He wasn’t trying to break in just trying to set his own car alarm off.

[@Dawnjackson1812]

Jeff I think you were exaggerating a little. I did not see him trying to crawl under the fence. I mean that’s not exactly a secure fence, as the installer stated. Was he Looking under it? yes.. He was waiting thinking he could get the wallet and then go get the cash. Idk you profess to be a do gooder but you’re not always the nicest to people who are stressed out. Not that he was in the right but this economy for the rest of us is not good! People are really hurting and $300 is a lot right now! But you towed his car costing him $300. Which was a valid tow, he got a ride when he could and got there early and was hoping to get someone to let him get his wallet so you wouldn’t have to wait again. Or make you wait. And now you want to act all bad and call the cops on him? Where is your empathy dude.. I like watching your KZbin channel I love that area but sometimes you are not the kind person you portray to be. Just saying a little empathy goes a long way in heaven.. it’s good you came around, after he left.. offering him help would have been a good idea..

[@WitchWillow]

Also. Tbf...he said he was going to be there between 3 and 3:30...and according to your own camera..he was...but YOU weren't. Kinda unprofesh to leave towed cars unattended when you know how people can get. Just saying....

I didn't see him on Jarry camera trying to crawl under the gate and I didn't see him touching the gate all I seen him do is look under the gate but if he only looked under the gate and did not touch it that's not breaking in so it must show on the plumbers camera him trying to go under the gate and going round the fence

This guy behaves very much like a young man I’ve known since he was in elementary school(now 21). He was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum during junior high. Fortunately, he was able to have professional counseling including occupational therapy to help him navigate the world. His anxiety is still sometimes off the charts. I feel for the man in this video. Maybe he has not had any help at all.

He admitted he was trying to set off the alarm, pretty much trying to breach the property to get a reaction (I.e. alarm). That’d be the “breaking” part of breaking and entering, just not entering, still a crime, albeit only half of it.

[@ridingwithairbubble1694]

You guys came close to getting this guy arrested for felony “burglary other than habitation” or at least misdemeanor criminal trespassing FOR NO REASON. Yeah he’s got some screws loose and was acting nutty but he never once tried to break into your lot and 95% of the comments on this video, including from those who watch you most loyally, agree this was overdramatized. If you’re honest about it surely you’d say your perception of the event might have been a bit clouded by your frustration with him. Let’s not be the little boy who cries wolf and calls the police for no reason.
