We reported the story of an attorney who robbed a pharmacy three times in 11 minutes. His story gets worse.
"An attorney accused of robbing a pharmacy three times in a span of a few minutes jumped head first from his fifth-floor hospital room Thursday, landing on the roof of a nearby two-story building.
Robert Behlen "vaulted himself" through a narrow window in his room and screamed as members of a sheriff’s office tactical team on tethers tried to reach him from an outdoor ledge, Oklahoma County Sheriff John Whetsel said.
"Obviously, he was intent on trying to commit suicide," Whetsel said. "We were very hopeful to a different resolution."
Whetsel said Behlen was verbal and conscious following the fall. But he was listed in critical condition Thursday evening to repair a fractured pelvis and dislocated hip, sheriff’s spokesman Mark Myers said. "
"They’re trying to find out what else is wrong with him. He’s taken a turn for the worse," Myers said.
