My husband which was the main source of income for my two small children and I , has completely lost his mind as of 3/12/2018.
It started at 10AM, when he brought the kids and I along to one of my scheduled appointments for my thyroid disease.
He was seemingly normal around 11AM after my appointment, He waited for me like normal and asked me how i was doing after he started the car ... I ask him how he was doing, he said "I am feeling amazing! " He starts driving and out of nowhere he says "Guess what!? I have control of this vehicle" .... "I am god!"
He started driving even faster, when I asked him where we were going
going he said "We are gonna drive off of a cliff!"
I saw the blank unforgiving look in his eyes, I realized at that moment he wast taking us home, but in fact it was his intention to murder us...I TOLD HIM I WANT TO GO HOME NOW!!! And he said we are going home Karen, we are going to heaven today, but you Karen... you are going to hell!
I begged him many times to stop the van, and to let the kids and I out of the van , and at that point I was in tears calling the police on his phone and throwing the hand symbol for call the police to the passing by vehicles. Then, he told me "You can call the cops all you want I will not stop this van." he started saying that "this van is going to fly today, have you ever seen a van fly!?" he talked about how he was going to find a cliff and drive us off it. I called 911 when we hit Otiose Orchards Washington, while he was driving on I-90 ,he kept hanging up the phone on dispatch because him as god wanted to "confront dispatch" and to tell them he was God.
Finally, I started seeing cop cars chasing our van!!! But... Rodney was not stopping, and refused to stop. Dispatch warned me via phone call that spike strips were coming up, and then some of the tires popped... but he continued going! Dispatch asked if i could try to get the key out of the ignition. I was able to shut the van off for a split second, but it didn't work... he grabbed my arm and turned the ignition right back on , I kept trying to turn it off, then, I think the second set of strips got ran over, and he was driving on his rims only... I saw pieces of the van fly off, there were sparks, which was scary. A cop car was finally in front of the van, my husband drove around it, and noticed there were more ahead and hit the opposite lane. we were stuck in the lane with cars going in the opposite direction, he was driving in front of semi trucks and they went around us trying not to hit us and he kept driving towards on coming traffic, it was the scariest thing ever. Finally, he drove into the snow banks and cops surrounded the vehicle. It was finally over... At the end I was frantic to get everything, but they would not allow me to have his wallet or anything. We lost the van, our money... and the father of my children.
My one year old baby girl, and my 6 year old son are absolutely terrified, and I don't know how to pay for rent, diapers, transportation, or food for the next 2 months, while I figure out a new safe living situation and court.
