Upon arriving to the scene, officers were reportedly told by Parscale’s wife that she was having concerns about her husband’s well-being since he was allegedly threatening to harm himself and had multiple firearms at his disposal inside the household.
Police met no resistance from Parscale, who was alone in the house, as they moved in, with Fort Lauderdale Police Chief Karen Dietrich telling the Sentinel that they “went and got him help.”
