ELY, Nev. (KVVU/CNN) - A 65-year-old man from Nevada charged in the death of a state trooper had been claiming, for weeks prior to the incident, that COVID-19 was flowing in the water and sewer systems, according to court documents.
John Dabritz, 65, appeared in court Wednesday on numerous charges, including open murder and third-degree arson, related to the death of 47-year-old Sgt. Ben Jenkins with the Nevada Highway Patrol.
Police say Jenkins pulled over Friday after he saw a car on the side of the road near Ely, Nevada. When he approached the car, Dabritz allegedly shot and killed him then stole his uniform and squad car.

Well said!
Another reason we need a real president to unify the country & calm people's fears.
Stress has a threshold. Beyond that, it is sadly often psychotic split time.
More blood on shitler's tiny hands! 🤬🤬
I keep forgetting the primaries aren't over. 😊

Locals say suspect in NHP trooper’s killing had COVID-19 obsession

I found this interesting...
His ex-wife, Haydee Dabritz, is an epidemiologist in California. The woman told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that her ex-husband was a research scientist in the 1980s, before he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
During the March 4 encounter, another water district employee, Kurt Carson, asked the man if he was sick. “Yes,” Dabritz replied, according to Garcia. “You probably shouldn’t be in public,” Garcia recalled telling the man.
+++++++
Just over a week later, that encounter in the water district office would come up again, while Dabritz was hospitalized at William Bee Ririe Hospital in Ely.
According to a hospital employee, who spoke to the Review-Journal on the condition of anonymity, Dabritz first came to the hospital for issues unrelated to his mental health. But he soon was placed on a legal mental health hold, after he began wandering the halls, and he brought a “concerning” note to the nurses’ station, according to the employee, who works in a clinical position.
This happened out in the sticks near the NV/UT border, south of I-80 near Ely.
What is a "legal mental health hold"?.......
