LISBON — Details about a man thought by the Lisbon Police Department to be “armed and dangerous” who went missing from the Counseling Center of Columbiana County and was arrested last Friday have emerged from a police report.

At 1:40 p.m. last Thursday, April 18, employees from the center told police that they were “pink-slipping,” or involuntarily committing, Timothy Adkins, 47, no known address, because he said he had a gun hidden and would kill a specific woman if “he needed to,” according to a Lisbon Police Department report of the incident.

Ohio Revised Code Section 5122.10 allows for certain healthcare and law enforcement officials to obtain emergency hospitalization for an individual if the official has reason to believe that the individual has a “mental illness subject to court order and represents a substantial risk of physical harm to self or others if allowed to remain at liberty pending examination.” A pink slip given to the hospital enables this process to happen.

The counseling center employees said Adkins had told them he was homeless and they were working to find him a shelter. They said Adkins said people were chasing him and the woman he threatened was “hacking into his accounts,” the police report reads.

When the police were on their way, Adkins ran into the woods.

Lisbon police were assisted in a search for Adkins in the area by Columbiana County Sheriff’s Deputies and members of the Columbiana County Drug Task Force.

Adkins was located the next night, Friday, unarmed, in the 10400 block of Stookesberry Road in Lisbon, and arrested on two warrants– for charges of aggravated menacing and inducing panic. The department received a tip from callers that he was on their porch Friday night, according to Lisbon Police Chief Mike Abraham.

Adkins has a lengthy criminal history, Lisbon Detective Neil Clark has said.
