Brandon Raub to Remain Detained over Facebook Posts
It appears no charges have been filed against Raub, however, he will be detained against his will in the psych ward of the John Randolph Medical Center.
WTVR Richmond is reporting a police statement which includes:
"Chesterfield police took Raub into custody for evaluation in accordance with Virginia State Code § 37.2-808 Emergency custody."
The code reads in part: "A.
