Jayson Williams In Hospital, Acting "Suicidal"

Jayson Williams was taken to a Manhattan hospital for a psychological evaluation early today after he barricaded himself inside a hotel room and was acting “suicidal” and “violent,” authorities told The Post. Williams, 41, was removed from his room at a Manhattan hotel at 4 a.m., police sources said. Once inside the hotel, the officers confronted what sources described to The Post as ‘a suicidal man’ who was acting ‘violent.’

Police were called to a Manhattan hotel at 4:00 a.m. after Williams trashed his room and then barricaded himself inside. Officers then used "an electrical device" to subdue the perp (i.e., they tazed him, bro) and hauled him off St. Vincent's Hospital for a psychological evaluation.

Oh and here's a fun fact that you may have forgotten about—Williams never actually served time for accidentally shooting his limo driver and then trying to cover up it. Neat, huh? (He still faces a re-trial on manslaughter and the obstruction charges, but the shooting took place over seven years ago. So no rush!) You would think that not going to prison even though you killed a guy would leave a man pretty chipper, but I guess the heart works in mysterious ways.
