\n When former Dodgers outfielder Andrew Toles was arrested on June 22 while sleeping outside of the Key West Airport in Florida, his family felt one overwhelming emotion: relief.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really crazy to say, but the mug shot, really, was the best thing ever,\u201d Andrew\u2019s sister, Morgan Toles, told USA Today. \u201cWe didn\u2019t know whether he was dead or alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Toles\u2019 family, jail is better than the alternative. The 28-year-old has spent much of the past year and a half homeless, alternating between brief stints in mental health facilities and longer stretches on the run in various parts of the world. Though the recent Florida arrest was the first time his troubles were made public, his heartbreaking story stretches back months.<\/p>\n

Toles was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in early 2019. He had been with the Dodgers weeks earlier, and after he informed them he was going on a trip<\/a>, he disapp<\/a>eared and stopped answering their calls. His family placed him in a mental health facility, but he left after two weeks.<\/p>\n

The next anyone heard from him was in February 2019, when he crashed his car in Arizona and was found wandering along a desert highway. He received his official diagnosis, which his family and the Dodgers kept a secret, telling the press he was away from the team for \u201cpersonal reasons,\u201d according to USA Today.<\/p>\n

After a period of time under the care of Dodgers medical director Ron Porterfield and a brief reconnection with his family, Toles ran away \u2013 and has been running ever since.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe keeps running,\u201d his father Alvin told USA Today. \u201cHe\u2019s in this state of paranoia. He\u2019s running from people. He just keeps running like someone is after him. He really needs help before it\u2019s too late.\u201d<\/p>\n

His family wants to place him under legal guardianship, but they are not allowed to do so without his consent. They haven\u2019t seen him in months. The Key West incident was the second in two weeks \u2013 he was also arrested in Kentucky under similar circumstances.<\/p>\n

Over the holidays, he was arrested in Hong Kong for stealing from a gas station and spent a month in prison. Morgan helped secure his release with the US Embassy, but he disappeared when he returned to the country.<\/p>\n

His father is currently en route to Florida to see his son, who is currently in a hospital. An anonymous donor secured his bail, which actually ended up being counter-productive as it just put him back on the streets. Toles has an arraignment on Thursday, and the family hopes he will show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t particularly care if my brother plays baseball again,\u2019\u2019 Morgan said. \u201cI just want him to be a functioning human being in society. I know there are laws that protect him. But those same laws hurt him. My brother has been really sick, and he doesn\u2019t even know it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to get guardianship, but to do that without his consent, he has to be a threat to himself or someone else. So basically, you\u2019re waiting for something tragic to happen.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
