RP stated she told him she was going to call his job and try and get him fired and make accusations that he was mentally unstable and wanted to hurt himself. RP stated this morning while driving on bear valley on his way to work, he ran over roadway debris, and believed he messed up the undercarriage of his vehicle. RP stated he called his wife, but all attempts went to voicemail and believes she blocked him because she doesnt want to talk to him. RP stated he called his daughter and told her that he ran something over and possibly messed up the car and just to let her know that he was okay. RP then stated he believes his daughter mixed up the story and made her think he was trying to hurt himself. RP stated she contacted the Sheriffs department for a welfare check on: RP and told dispatch he wanted to harm himself. RP stated a deputy contacted him via 21 and asked what happened and if he wanted to harm himself. JC told the deputy he was fine.
