Police at my home for that, we wouldn't be friends anymore. Just me. There's probably more to the story like he must have a history of violence or self harm or something. I'm sorry, no offense meant, but I would be very upset if police came because I have "crazy" ideas... They'd be here every day.

Also - you still wanted a ride from him, so you trust him enough to drive a vehicle, he must be safe enough on the road. But then calling police....
Excitement was the previous week. Mania and wanting people to join an illegal pyramid scheme and not taking me home when I told him to was not okay. Verbally abusing me was not okay. Grabbing my arm was not okay. I had called the police only for a welfare check. Not realizing that they couldn't do anything because I had made it clear he was not suicidal or physically threatening to anyone. Apparently, after the other day, I guess I was wrong about that. I know now all I can do is distance myself from him and make sure I'm not around it.
