Everson Griffen’s wife Tiffany Griffen is largely responsible for getting her husband help he needs after an unsettling series of events. Tiffany called police to help her husband. The Minnesota Star Tribune outlines what led to the call. According to this report, Griffen had been struggling with mental health for weeks, and culminated in an outburst at the a hotel where Everson allegedly threatened staff and was lying on the floor. More from this article:
An officer met with Griffen’s wife at a park Saturday in Mound and recounted events leading up to the hotel incident:
She said her husband awoke in the middle of the night on Sept. 16 and left the home. She said he does this at times when he is fighting “demons” in his head. Se said he returned Wednesday only to leave an hour later and not return until Saturday morning.
Tiffany Griffen said Griffen wasn’t making sense, became combative and ordered her out of the Minnetrista home. He then went to the Hotel Ivy, which is where he stays during the week. She said Griffen needs to be medicated for his mental struggles and had been without sleep for days.
It’s good that the stigma associated with mental illness is beginning to be stripped away. Here’s to hoping Griffen gets the help he needs.
