Yeah, but I think the more significant part may be that he just got out of jail --but it doesn't say what for.

Mentally ill people have a lot of run-ins with the law because of disorderly conduct, trespassing, public intoxication, misdemeanor drug possession, and that sort of thing.

In the interest of accuracy, the murder victim wasn't changing a tire. I had heard that on the radio. It was some other vehicle repair.
