FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - New details have surfaced after former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale was Baker Acted over the weekend.
Officers said the 44-year-old Parscale was armed, intoxicated and threatening to take his life inside his home, along the 2300 block of Desota Drive, Sunday.
New reports claim that Parscale is under investigation for allegedly stealing millions of dollars from President Trump’s 2020 campaign. The Daily Mail reported that Parscale is accused of stealing between $25 million and $40 million.
He is also being investigated for taking an additional $10 million from the Republican National Committee.
A watchdog group has filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission, claiming the Trump campaign laundered nearly $170 million through firms headed by Parscale.
Meanwhile, the woman who called 911 wondered if Parscale’s wife, whom police noted had several bruises on her body, had been abused.
“What are those bruises? Oh no, did he do that? Oh, my gosh, your arm; both your arms! Has he been hurting you?” the woman said.
Parscale’s wife told Fort Lauderdale Police the bruises were from a previous incident.
Investigators removed 10 firearms from Parscale’s home, and they have petitioned a judge to sign a Risk Protection Order to prohibit Parscale from owning any firearms.
“Bradley James Parscale poses a significant danger of causing personal injury to himself or others by having a firearm or any ammunition in his custody,” police wrote to the judge.
Parscale remains in custody, as his medical evaluation continues.
