Officers responded to a home near 300 North and 200 East on Thursday after Wasatch Mental Health asked for assistance taking the man into custody, according to a news release from the Spanish Fork Police Department. Police and mental health professionals left when the man refused to respond, but they returned Thursday evening after he allegedly 'assaulted his mother and caused extensive damage inside the home,' the release states.
