Jaclyn told the 911 operator that Scott believed he was part of the CIA and had made potential threats about President Obama and that he was being targeted by the government.
Scott reveals for months he was hallucinating and spent a month driving around the country in his car, following an angel that he saw on the hood.”In my delusional thinking, I thought my family was involved in ISIS, and that millions of dollars had been taken from me to support terrorism,” he continues. “All of it was nonsense. I was out of my mind.”
