Also, while I think of it. How incredibly relevant is this!? Way back in 2000 or 2001, this man had been taken to court for stalking a paper-carrier on her rounds. She did not know the man so it wasn't a domestic situation. The case was dismissed when a witness did not show. Some time after that, the man walked into a police station WEARING a handgun in his waistband complaining about some situation he was having that they needed to take care of. He was arrested for illegal concealment of a weapon. The judge ordered him to seek mental evaluation and counselling. He did neither. If he had or if his probation officer had made sure he had then, perhaps none of this would have happened.

Quite relevant. If the mental health aspects had been pursued, then the SRO would likely have never been put in that position.
