Scott Stapp's Wife Wants Psychiatric Hold For The Creed Singer

12/01/2014
. (Radio.com) Jaclyn Stapp and mother Hayat Nesheiwat have filed legal documents in Madison County, Fla., in an effort to have Scott Stapp institutionalized for up to 60 days, reports TMZ.

In the filing, Stapp's wife, who filed for divorce recently, states the former Creed singer has been abusing enough amphetamines, crystal meth and steroids that he has become "a paranoid shell who has threatened to kill himself and harm his family."

According to the Miami Herald, Stapp's wife supported claims of drug abuse with a series of texts from the singer including: "Florida is not safe. Biological weapons on the way. U have to leave with kids and meet me in Atlanta."

"Wells Fargo working out my account problems. I'm out of gas. Haven't eaten all day. I'm asking if they can spot me $1,000 so I don't fall over from malnutrition."

"God is also telling me something about Palm Springs and Nashville so there's a connection somehow. He's also telling me DEA for some reason."

"I'm coming to get you Satan and children. No mercy. You know how this ends. God created you and now God is ending you."

"I wouldn't doubt it if the CIA is behind Alcoholics Anonymous."

A hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, reports the newspaper. Under Florida's Marchman Alcohol and Other Drug Services Act, a judge can order Stapp into treatment for up to five days then up to five months if needed. Stapp's wife and mother-in-law believe he may attempt to self-detox, which can sometimes be fatal. Read more here.
