Depends on the state. Having the cops called at least has a record of the incident. If you’re willing to post a recording sign at your place and get a record of their behavior, it would also be a starting point to clear up any arguments or for further steps. In some places there is a step where if a person is a danger to them self or others, you can fill out a form for court appointed psych out patient therapy. You can get an involuntary hold on someone but then getting them out can be difficult and expensive. It may take a doctor, nurse, EMT, cop, and/or judge to agree with you and they see the truly crazy people who really need a bed. Other than that, trying to barter with the person, or a cop. Depends on the size of the city. Keep in mind, there could be backlash and failure to get them help. We had to cut a friend and her husband from our circle because all steps failed. We grew tired of the same repeated stories with slightly different plots. The person tried to get other friends fired by making up stories. I feel like we did all we could and needed to move on with our lives.
