A mentally ill man accused of burglary two days after his release from a mental health facility, where he had been detained for allegedly texting a crisis hotline about his desires to kill and dismember a woman, has been ordered held without bail until a mental evaluation can be done.
Daniel Wayne Staley, 24, has been held at the Tarrant County Jail since Jan. 8, when he was arrested on allegations that he used a rock to break in into a University of North Texas Health Science Center business office at 1412 May St. and stole some equipment...
Staley “has an extremely length history of mental illness and was released two days earlier from a mental facility for reporting that he was looking for a female to hit in the head with a hammer, load into his vehicle and take her somewhere to dismember her,” Assistant District Attorney Lisa Callaghan wrote in the motion.
