Idaho man found disoriented on roof of LDS temple
REXBURG, Idaho (AP) — A 35-year-old southeastern Idaho man was taken into policy custody for a mental evaluation after he was found disoriented on the roof of the LDS Church's Rexburg Temple.
Rexburg police said the Ammon man was talking incoherently when they found him on the temple roof Thursday.
Capt. Randy Lewis says the man wasn't trespassing and did nothing illegal, but authorities were concerned with his "mental welfare."
Lewis says the police have released the man from protective custody and he is seeking treatment.
Authorities have not identified the man because he did not break the law.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has four temples in Idaho — Rexburg, Idaho Falls, Boise and Twin Falls.
