STATEMENT OF ISSUE
Whether it is appropriate to revoke the Massage Practitioner License of Machaga
Johns because of indecent conducUcriminal sexual conduct against one of his massage
customers on August 30, 2003; and
Whether Mr. Johns is a person who is fit to engage in the licensed activity of a
massage practitioner within the meaning of the § 310.06(b)(10).
� � r�
Based upon all of the proceedings herein, the Administrative Law Judge makes
the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Machaga Johns, a 22-year-old male, has been licensed as a massage
practitioner in the City of St. Paul since 2001. On August 30, 2003, he was employed
as a massage therapist at a hair designlmassage parlor on Grand Avenue in St. Paui.
2. On August 30, 2003, during the course of applying a massage to the legs of
a 50-year-o�d female customer, Mr. Johns's hand moved into the customer's vaginal
area and his fingers rubbed her clitoris.
3. Mr. Johns subsequently admitted to his victim and to the investigating
police.officsr tha# he had made the sex;aal contact described an.�', that ha had "crossed a
boundary" in doing so. See Exhibit 2.
4. Mr. Johns expressed to the arresting officer ihat his victim "told" him that
she wanted him to touch her in that fashion. In that connection, he admitted that the
victim did not say so out loud, but "she was thinking it." When asked by the officer to
explain, Mr. Johns stated that he is "sensitive" to women and can teil what they are
thinking. He said when a woman feels "sensual" he can feel a"vibe" from them. Mr.
Johns also told the investigating officer that he believes that his sensitivity is a gift from
God.
5. On September 2, 2003, a complaint was issued against Mr. Johns charging
him with performing an act in violation of Minn. Stat. § 609.3451, subd. 1(1) (Criminal
Sexual Conduct in the Fifth Degree), a gross misdemeanor.
6. On October 23, 2003, the City informed Mr. Johns that the Office of License
Inspections and Environmental Protection had recommended adverse action against his
license because of the inappropriate sexual contact on August 30, 2003. Mr. Johns
fi4ed an appeal, and this hearing process followed.
7. An evidentiary hearing was set in this matter on December 29, 2003. the
testimony of the investigating officer was taken on that date, but Mr. Johns did not
appear. The Administrative Law Judge was informed subsequently that Johns was
hospitalized and under psychiatric care at Regions Hospital, and had been since
December 19, 2003.
8. On January 15, 2004, Mr. Johns had a hearing in the courtroom at Regions
Hospital on the petition of the hospital for the judicial commitment of Mr. Johns as a
mentally ill person and on the petition of his treating psychiatrist to impose an Order for
Authorization to Impose Treatment for Neuroleptic Medication.
9. On January 22, 2004, James F. Finley, Ramsey County Court
Commissioner, issued his Order in the matter brought before him on January 15.
Commissioner Finley rufed that Mr. Johns suffers from the mental illness of Bipolar
2
• � i �
Affective Disorder, that he was delusional, and that he was a danger to himself or
others.
10. After Commissioner Finley's ruling on January 22, Mr. Johns was
committed to the custody of Regions Hospital, Anoka-Metro Regional Treatment Center
and the Minnesota Commissioner of Human Services. He remained in treatment
facilities untii the date of his trial (March 1, 2004) for Criminal Sexual Conduct in the
Fifth Degree.
11. On March 1, 2004, it was found by Ramsey County District Judge James
Clark that Mr. Johns did intentionally touch the female customer at the massage parlor
on August 30, 2003 and that the customer did not consent to the touching. The Judge
concluded that the defendant did commit the crime of Criminal Sexual Conduct in the
Fifth Degree by virtue of touching the genital area of the massage parlor customer,
which toucning was not ofherwise consented to. i he Judye conciuded further that at
the time of the offense on August 30, 2003, Mr. Johns was both manic and psychotic.
Judge Clark fol�owed the opinion of the examining psychiatrist in the proceeding that Mr.
Johns, at the time he committed the Criminal Sexual Conduct in the Fifth Degree, did
not know the difference between right and wrong because of inental illness, and found
Mr. Johns not guilty of the charge.
12. Upon his acquittal, Mr. Johns was returned to his Civil Commitment status,
which continues through July 15, 2004. At that time, the commitment will be re-
evaluated for possible renewal, or Mr. Johns could be released from commitment. Mr.
Schumacher will make a recommendation to the Court Commissioner. As of the time of
the hearing, Mr. Johns was adhering to the terms of his Civil Commitment.
13. Under the treatment plan imposed for Mr. Johns' Civil Commitment, he is
required to attend all scheduled outpatient psychiatric appointments and take
medication as prescribed by his psychiatrist. He is required to accept monthly injection
of inedication if indicated. He agrees further to meet and cooperate with his case
manager (Mr. Schumacher) weekly or as arranged. Mr. Johns must allow medication
monitoring by his case management team or its designee, and agrees to abstain from
illicit drugs, non-prescribed medications and alcohol. He must also attend all
��pointmen#s cor.cerning mental health and chemical de�endency on a consistent
basis, and agr2e to random drug testing if recommended by his psychiatrist or case
management team. He must also engage in no criminal or illegal activity.
14. Mr. Johns admits that he needs to stay on his medications and foilow the
plan laid out for him when he was committed for a longer period of time. For now, he
pledges to stay with his prescribed medication. He does not believe that his therapy
sessions with the psychiatrist or other provider is helping alleviate his mental illness, but
says that the medication (Seroquel) helps him.
Based upon the above Findings of Fact, the Administrative Law Judge makes the
following:
K3
• � � .
CONCLUSIONS
1. The Administrative Law Judge and the St. Paul City Council have
jurisdiction in this matter under Minn. Stat. § 14.55 and St. Paul Legislative Code
Sections 370.55 and 376.16.
2. Mr. Johns received timely and proper notice of the hearing and the City has
complied with all relevant substantive and procedural requirements of statute and rule.
3. The City has the authority to take adverse action, up to and including
revocation, against the license of any license holder who has engaged in actions
meeting the definitions of criminal sexual conduct under Minnesota Statutes or who is
not fit to engage in a licensed activity, business or profession. St. Paul Legislative Code
Sections 310.06(b)(6)a. and 310.06(b){10).
4. The City has established by a preponderance of the evidence that Machaga
Johns, intentionally and without consent, touched the genitals of a customer to whom he
was administering a massage within the City of St. Paul on August 30, 2003. Under
Section 310.06(6)(b)a., this act is reasonably related to the licensed activity of the
practice of massage.
5. Because of Mr. Johns's current status under an Order of Civil Commitment
which will not expire until July 15, 2004, he is not a person who is fit to engage in the
licensed activity of massage practitioner within the meaning of Section 310.06(10) of the
St. Paul Legislative Code.
Based upon the above Conciusions, the Administrative Law Judge makes the
following:
RECOMMENDATION
IT IS RECOMMENDED that the St. Paul City Council REVOKE the massage
practitioner license of Machaga Johns.

It is requested that the City serve the Administrative Law Judge a copy of its final
decision in this matter by first class mail.
MEMORANDUM
Although Mr. Johns maintains that he is competent to perform massages and has
the requisite knowledge to be licensed as a practitioner within the City, he admits that
more time is needed to evaluate whether or not he will follow the rehabilitation plan laid
out in the Order of Commitment that continues in effect. Ex. 9. Given that
circumstance, it appears that continuing his massage therapist license at this time
would constitute a risk the City should not assume.
Ulr. Johns admifted ��hat if he gues off his medications, ne wouid lose the ability to
know that he has "slipped off," and that he would be without the insight required to
realize that he needs the medications in order to stabilize his mental health.
The Administrative Law Judge agrees with the arguments by the Assistant City
Attomey to the effect that more time is needed in order to tell whether or not Mr. Johns
has the discipline to stay on the appropriate medications so that his mental illness
(Bipolar Affective Disorder) does not reoccur. After July 15, 2004, Mr. Johns may be off
his Civil Commitment. At that time, or whenever he is no fonger under a Commitment
Order, Mr. Johns will have to maintain appropriate usage of his medications without the
help of the controls and support system that are in place at the present time, which have
helped keep him from slipping off the Court-ordered program. As argued by the
Assistant City Attorney, it is likely more appropriate to wait until Mr. Johns is finished
with h+s commitment and then builds up a history of being able to maintain the
appropriate mental/emotional equilibrium necessary in order to be entrusted with and fit
for licensure to practice massage.
It is noted also that Mr. Johns has aliowed his license to lapse as of February,
2004. In order to get reinstatement, he must re-apply and pass the necessary
examinations to qualify for licensure as a massage practitioner over again (even if no
discipiinary action is imposed in this proceeding). If his license is revoked, he will not be
able to re-apply until at least one year after the effective date of the revocation by the
City Council. Perhaps by that time, Mr. Johns will have a su�cient history of
maintaining the necessary self-discipline required to qualify again for licensure as a
massage practitioner. 1t wouVd afso be inappropriate to allow him to continue in his
licensed status at this time because of the continuing Civil Commitment for mental
illness and the nature of the act he committed (non-consensual touching of the genital
area of a massage customer), regardless of whether his mental illness avoided a
criminal conviction in that instance. What matters is that Mr. Johns committed the act,
and the record suggests a definite risk that he could repeat, if given another similar
circumstance.

out in the Order of Commitment that continues in effect. Ex. 9. Given that
circumstance, it appears that continuing his massage therapist license at this time
would constitute a risk the City should not assume.
Mr. Johns admitted that if he goes off his medications, he would lose the ability to
know that he has "slipped off," and that he would be without the insight required to
realize that he needs the medications in order to stabilize his mental health.
The Administrative Law Judge agrees with the arguments by the Assistant City
Attorney to the eifiect that more time is needed '+n order to tell whether or not Mr. Johns
has the discipline to stay on the appropriate medications so that his mental illness
(Bipolar Affective Disorder) does not reoccur. After July 15, 2004, Mr. Johns may be ofif
his Civil Commitment. At that time, or whenever he is no longer under a Commitment
Order, Mr. Johns will have to maintain appropriate usage of his medications without the
help of the controls and support system that are in pface at the present time, which have
helped keep him from slipping off the Court-ordered program. As argued by the
Assistant City Attorney, it is likely more appropriate to wait until Mr. Johns is finished
with his commitment and then builds up a history of being able to maintain the
appropriate mental/emotional equilibrium necessary in order to be entrusted with and fit
for licensure to practice massage.
It is noted also that Mr. Johns has allowed his license to lapse as of February,
2004. In order to get reinstatement, he must re-apply and pass the necessary
examinations to qualify for licensure as a massage practitioner over again (even if no
disciplinary action is imposed in this proceeding). If his license is revoked, he will not be
able to re-apply until at least one year after the effective date of the revocation by the
City Council. Perhaps by that time, Mr. Johns will have a sufficient history of
maintaining the necessary self-discipline required to qualify again for licensure as a
massage practitioner. It would also be inappropriate to allow him to continue in his
licensed status at this time because of the continuing Civil Commitment for mental
illness and the nature of the act he committed (non-consensual touching of the genital
area of a massage customer), regardless of whether his mental illness avoided a
criminal conviction in that instance. What matters is that Mr. Johns committed the act,
and the record suggests a definite risk that he could repeat, if given another similar
circumstance.

RE: Massage Practitioner License held by Machaga N. Johns for the premises located at 770

License ID #: 20030000610
Deaz Mr. Johns:
I received your message on my voice mail which apparently came in on December 30,
2003, asking that your hearing "for tomorrow" be rescheduled. However, your hearing was heid
on December 29, 2003 and you had already missed the scheduled time and date. Because of the
holidays I have not been able to respond before now, but I did contact the Administrative Law
Judge who heard this matter and indicated that I would write a letter advising you of how to
contact him to make a request to reschedule the hearing.
Your message to me indicated that you had been hospitalized since the 25`" of December,
but did not give any specifics about the reason for your hospitalization. I have already stated to
the Administrative Law Judge that I object to the rescheduling of the hearing because you
mistook the date and failed to appear. However, I would suggest that you provide Judge Luis
w:th iniorriiat:�r, about the na«:re oi your hospitai stay, together with proof of the dates that you
were there, and he can cYecide whether the matter should be rescheduled. I would appreciate it if
you would also copy me on any letter to Judge Luis and provide the information about your
hospital stay to me as well.
Sincerely,

Re: In the Matter of Proposed Adverse Action Against the
Massage Practitioner License Held by Machaga N. Johns;
OAH Docket No. 7-6020-15632-3
Dear Mr. Johns:
Please allow this letter to confirm my receipt of a letter to you from Assistant City
Attorney Virginia D. Palmer, on behalf of the License Inspections and Environmental Protection
Department at the City of St. Paul. The letter follows a telephone conversation she had with me
to the same effect.
It appears that your position in this matter is that you missed the hearing that was held
on December 29, 2003, because you were in the hospital. One probiem is that Ms. Palmer's
letter indicates that she heard from you by voice mait on December 30, 2003, asking that your
hearing "for tomorrovd' (which would have been December 31st) be rescheduled. Accordingly,
Ms. Palmer objects to any rescheduling of the hearing because you mistook the date and failed
to appear.
I will consider whether it is appropriate to reschedule your hearing if you provide to me
written documentation to establish that you had a good reason for not contacting myself or the
Office of the St. Paui City Attorney (Ms. Palmer) on or before December 29, 2003 to ask that the
matter be rescheduled because of your being in the hospitat. In addition, you must provide me
with documented written proof that you were, in fact, in the hospital during the dates you have
alleged in the telephone conversation to Ms. Palmer. This can be done by submitting copies of
hospital records, or a letter from your treating physician specifying the dates you were
hospitalized and the condition for which you were placed in the hospital.
Please provide me with the written evidence specified above on or before Tuesday,
January 13, 2004 (mailing date).
Thank you for your cooperation.

I(OFF. rV. SiPES - SQD 125� was requested to go to team on a detai! for SGT. MAH7HEI (SQD 106J.
W hen I artived 1 spoke to OFF. SARA $A4LEY who is currenify assigned to the Asset ForEeiture DetaiL OFF.
BA)LEY explained that her aunt was sexuaAy assaulted at � massage parlor and ihai she was here only for
mora! suppori_
Ttte victim, NlENDY LYNN b1CCULLY (I?OB:B/7/5i, 168 MONTROSE, C/P:651-338-2754), told me that she
saw massages adversised on a banner for $45 for 1 hour whi{e drlving down Grand Ave. taday. She sa�d that it
was a Euil service salon just east of the Wiid Onion. MCCULLY said she thought that was a good price for the
massage and stopped at 1100 hours.
MCCULLY said the person who massaged her was a B/M, 22-23 YOA, 5'B/slender build, faciai hair, wearing
tan pants, tennis shoes and a red shirt. She said she thought his name was similar to MACHACHR JOHNS.
which she saw on his state license which was displayed in the massage room.
MCCULLY safd ihe massage staried oui fine. She said the upper bady rub was completely professional antl
appropriate. Shs said ihat JOHNS began rubbing her right !eg anG after a few minutes his hand movad fo the
insida ofi heT thigh louched her iabia. She said she iiinched, but he moved back to her ieg and she 4hought thac
it had been a legitimate misjudgement on his part.
MCCULLY said J04iNS rubbed her Isg for a�it longer, then began mouing up toward the insida of her thigh
again. She said his hand went to the inside ihigh, then he put his hand on her ciitor�s and rub6ed it MCCULLY
starlad to cry while teiling me this and said she was in Shock that this oocurred. She said she put her hand
down and pushed his arm away and told fiim not to do that. She said he was silent for a minute or so and
asked her if she wanted io stop the massage. She said she was stili shocked, and said no, he could continue.
MCCULLY said as soon as the massage was over, she got up and asked JOHNS wftat fte was thinking by
touching her Sa intimatefy. She said JOHNS totd hsr that God was aciing through him and that God had
directed him to touch her. She said he told her that he could `read" people through vibes and that he could
read her ihoughts. He told her that she was "asking for iY', impiying that she wantsd him to touCh her. 5he toid
him tnat he hatl broken s boundary antl she said he pui his head down, thought for a moment, looked up and
said, "Yeah, I may have crossed a boundary".
MCCU�LY said she left, bu4 r8turned as she remember¢d that when she had gone in for the massage she had
filted out a Personal (nformation sheet ihat had her home address and phone number on it. She said she was
worriad ±hat .lOHNS wouid have access to that information so she went back to the salon and retrieved that
sheet.
MCCULLY said she struggied with reporting the mcident as she thought perhaps she had handled it in an aduft
like manner. She said she then realized if ttie inaident had happened to hgr, it may have happened to oiher
women aad she knew what had occurred was iitegal. She said she called OFF. BAti.EY for gwdance on who
to contact.
I then had OFF. BE[VNER check the area Yo locate the massage parlor. Ffe found it to be at 770 Grand Ave,
Rosie's Nair Design (w/p:292-9022). I procseded 4o the address and OFF. SENNER (SQD t91), OFF. SIMS
(St3D �29) and I went inside, We asked an employee ifi JOHNS was there. She said he had left a�d � asked

her to coniact ner erTtpioysr so that 1 couid ge2 JONNS' home address. I located JOHNS' state Iicense wh�ch
listed his name as NiACHAGA N. JQMMS. JOHNS' empl0yer, Richartl Swinney, gave me his address a4 1599
St. Anthony Av°. #5. He said he just dropped JOHNS at tfie corner there a couple of days ago and believed it
to be a gootl address.
�1V e proceeded T� ihat address to intenriew JOHNB. JOHNS opened his apartment door and confirmed his
itlentity. ,lOHNS was a BIM, thin buiid, wearing ta�a corduroy pants dnd a wfiite tshirt. He had short hair and
facial hair on his chin, matching the description given by MGCULLEY. 1 taid him that we needed to speak to
him about an inciderrt thai ha@ oCCUrred and asked if wa could step in. He said yes and opened the door
further to allow us into the apartment.
I explained to JdHNS that we had received a compiaint about him but thet we realize there are two sides to
every story. i asked him if he knew whaY I was ta�king about and �f so, did he want to teil us his version of the
�ncident. 1 asked JQl1N5 if anything unusual occurred at work 4oday. He nodded and said "yeah". i asked h�m
ii he would teli us what happened and he Sa�d he would.
JOHNS said that he was massaqing a woman today. I asked if he knew her name. Ne said "MC LULLY or
something". He said wheh he was massaging her she to(d him 4hat she wanted him to do more. i asked him
whaf She Said. Fte said "She tlidn't say ii verbally, she was thinking it". P asked him to explain. JOHNS told us
that he is very "sensitive" to women and that he can tell what they are thinking, Ne said when a woman feeis
"sensual" he can feei a"�ibe" from them. He said that most of the women that come in have a v�be tha4 he
feels that teiis him they want more from him than jusf a massage.
I asked JOHN� how often he feels the vibe from women. Ne responded "aii the time, most wome�". OFF.
BEIVNER asked him "how m8ny women in a monih hBVe you fielt that vibe from when you did touch them?"
JOHNS eesponded "Two, and three with today".
� asked JOHNS what happened today. He said he was rubbing her leg whsn he got 4he vibe and rnoved h�s
hands way up to "you know where". OFF. SIM5 asked him, "did you touch her in The vaginai area?" JOMfVS
put his hands up and shrugged and said "yeah".
W ith that admission, t infiormed JQHNS that he was under aeresi tor Fhe incident that occurrad today. i took
JpHNS into custody without incident. We locked up his house for him and put his house keys with his
property. I asketl JOMNS ifi he was being ireated for anything and he responded, "Bipolar".
�CCUI.LEY drove by the bcation while J�HNS was standing neui to my squad oar and positively ID'ed him as
the party who nad fondled her bstween 1700-1200 hours at 77Q Grand Ave.
1 transpaRed J�HiVS ta HQ. i idenfified him as MACHAGA NATNAIVIEL JOMNS {D08:917f81, 1599 ST.

Machaga N. Johns

St. Paul, MN 55104
RE: Massage Practitioner License held by Machaga N. Johns for the premises located at 770
Grand Avenue, in the City of Saint Paul
License ID #: 20030000610
Deaz Mr. Johns:
The Office of License Inspections and Environmental Protection (I.IEP) has
recommended adverse action against the above-referenced license. The basis for the
recommendation is as follows:
On August 30, 2003, the Saint Paul Police received a report of
a woman who had been a customer of yours on this date.
During the massage, you touched her inappropriately. When
she asked why, you stated that God had directed you to touch
her. Later, when interviewed by the police, you admitted to
touching the woman inappropriately and said that you often
feel a"vibe" from female customers that tells you they want
"more than just a massage."
The Office of LIEP will recommend the revocation of your license as a massage practitioner.
At this time you have two options on how to proceed:
1. If you do not dispute the above facts you may appear before the Saint Paul City Council
to address the appropriate penalty.
2. If you do dispute the above facts, you may request a hearing, which will be scheduled
before an Administrative Law Judge. At that hearing both you and the City will be ah1P \
to appear and present witnesses, evidence, and cross-examine the other's witnesses. �� j�'-�^ �
'�' (p

St. Paul City Council will ultimately decide the case.

eed. If you have not contacted me by then, I will assume that you are not contesting the facts
will schedule this matter for a hearing before the City Council for a consent a�enda, at which
time your license as a massage practitioner will be revoked.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 266-8710.

Paul, stated that at 11 a.m. that same day she went to the hair salon located on Grand Avenue in response to
thear advertisement for a massage she had seen as she drove down Grand Avenue. The victim said the male

DOB 09-07-1981, 1599 St. Anthony Avenue, #5, in St. Paul.
The victim stated that the massa�e started out completely professional, but when she felt the masseur reach
beneath her covering and t��� hAr ��a�_ �'�?! �.Yea, she flinched, but thought he mi�ht have made a mistake. The
masseur continued with the massage, but then placed his hand directiv on her clitoris and beean to rub intensely.
The victim said she immedia[ely pushed his hand away and was in shock. She said she didn't know what to do.
She said she confronted the masseur about what happened and he told her he could "read" people and pick up
their vibes as to when they want sexual pleasure from him. The victim stated that she told him he had broken a
boundazy and he admitted to her that he had.
Officer Sipes, along with Officers Benner and Sims, went to the Rosie Hair Designer & Spa located at 770
Grand Avenue in St. Paul and were told that Johns had left. The officers noted that Johns had his state license
displayed on the wall. The officers got Johns' home address of 1599 St Anthony Avenue #5 and went there
and arrested 7ohns. Johns admitted to the officers that somethin� unusual had happened at work that day. He
said he had massa�ed a woman named "McLully" or somethin� and durin� the massa�e she told him that she

wanted him to do more. He said she didn't verbalize it, but said he knew she was thinkin� it. He said he was
very sensitive to women and can feel a vibe about what they are fhinkin�. When he was rubbin� the
woman's leg, he got the vibe and moved his hands up to "vou know where". he said. He admitted that he
touched the woman in the vaainal ar a.

RespondenY.
FINDINGS AND ORDER
FOR CONID�IITMENT AND TREATMENT
WITH NEUROLEPTIC MEDICATION
The above-entitled matter came on for trial on January 15, 2004 at the Regions Hospital
Courtroom, St. Paul, Minnesota, on the Perition of Regions Hospital dated January 2, 2004 for
the 7udicial Commitment of Machaga N. Johns as a mentally ill person and on the Petition of
Janet Zander, M.D. dated January 5, 2004 for an Order for Authorization to Impose Treatment
with Neuroleptic Medication:
Machaga N. 7ohns, the respondent, was present and was represented by Gerald C.
Rununel, a Court-appointed attomey. The petitioner was not present, but was represented by
Melinda Elledge, Assistant Ramsey County Attomep. Also present: Brent Schumacher, Mental
Health Resources, Case Manager; Julie Johns, Mother; and Nicole Sipes, St. Paul. Police Officer,
Witness.
Upon ali the files, records and upon the testimony of Nicole Sipes, Brent Schumacher,
Julie Johns, Dr. Janet Zander, Machaga N. Johns and Dr. Hector Zeller, the Court makes the
following:
FIlVDINGS OF k'ACT
1. Notice of hearing was given to all necessary parties.
2. Petitioner and respondent were properly represented by le�al counsel. The hearin�
was conducted in compliance with the procedures required under the Minnesota Commitment
and Treatment Act.
3. Macha�a N. Johns has his residence in Ramsey County, Minnesota.
4. Machaga N. Johns is a mentally ill person as defined by Minn. Stat. 253B.02, Subd.
13, and meets the statutory criteria for civil commihnent.
5. The respondent is a 22-year old man whose date of birth is September 7,1981. He has
a history of treatment for mental illness dating to December, 2002. At that time, he was
hospitalized at Rea ons Hospital for approximately two weeks. He attempted to steal from a
Foot Locker Store and was found on ttie street babb2ing unintelli�ibly. I�e also pulled a necklace
off a clerk in a McDonald's Drive-in. At that time, he believed that people were watching him
and that God was sending messages to him. He also reported that he heard the Devil speak to
him. He was treated for psychosis 1VOS and discharged to his family home.
6. On December 19, 2003, he was brought into Regions Hospital by his father. He
reportedly was threatening to kill himself, talking to the TV and the Devil. While in the hospital,
he had a drug screen, which was positive for THC. He had a Rule 25 Assessment and refused
voluntary chemical dependency treatment. On January 2, 2004, he was on a 72-hour hold and in
seclusion because he picked up and threw a heavy large wooden chair across the room when a
social worker asked him a question. In the hospital, he was noted to be pazanoid and delusional.
He was seen "air-boxing" and threatening staff.
7. Dr. Janet Zander, the respondenPs aftending pfiysician, festified ffiat the resporizl�nt
was hallucinatin� in the Emergency Room when he came into the hospital. He was hearing
2
(
voices. He was diagnosed to haue a bipolar affective disorder. When asked about taldng
medication, he said that he did not want to talce medication. Dr. Zander told him that when he
did this, he became symptomatic. The last time he was in the hospital, he was supposed to
continue to take his medicafion, but he discontinued, and now he is back in the hospital. Dr.
Zander said that the respondent is makin� progress in the hospital. He is better than when he
entered. I3owever, he continues to heaz voices. He is on 800 milligrams of Seroquel, which is
the maximum dose. Dr. Zander testified that if the respondent was not under an emergency order
or a Court order, he would not take the medication as prescribed. She recommended that the
respondent be committed to Regions Hospital for continued treatment and that a Treatment Order
be issued.
8. Dr. Hector Zeller, a Court-appointed examiner, testified that the respondent is
sufferin� from a bipolaz affective disorder. He is �andiose. He has a delusional system. Other
symptoms include rapid speech, overproductiveness and circumstantial speech. He told Dr.
Zeller that he was not interested in treatment and that he wanted to leave the hospital. Dr. Zeller
testified that the respondenYs judgment is severely impaired. He needs future stabilization on
medication. If released, he would have more difficulty in the community. He is very intrusive to
others and he is very grandiose. In his present condition, he could not be employed and coul
— �a
not take caze of himself in the community. Dr. Zeller also recommended the issuance of a
Treatment Order.
4. On A oQust 30, 2003, the respondent was working in a massage parlor in St. Paul. He
was mass �°ing a female and touched her genitals. When he was asked about fliis, he said that he
felt sensual vibes from the woman he was massaging, and she wanted him to touch her. He
3
admitted, however, that she did not say anytrring to him to indicate a consensual sexual contact.
He has been char�ed with a Gross Misdemeanor in connecrion with this incident and is presently
on a thousand dollar bail.
10. The respondent is a danger to himself and a danger to others. He is delusional. He is
hearing voices and actin� on the voices. Because of these delusions, he has a pending CTross
Misdemeanor chazge. In his present condition, he is not able to provide for himself in the
community. He is not workin� and he has no means of support. He is riot able to pay his rent
and has been assisted by his mother.
11. The Court has considered alternatives to involuntary hospitalization. The altemative
� presented by' the 'respondent is �hat he be released to seek outpatient care: However; t3se
respondent has told the examiners and also told his treating physician at Re�ions Hospital that he
will not continue to take his medication and he will not continue to cooperate with his case
management team. He is so grandiose that he is not able to comprehend that he has a mental
illness or is in need of treatment. Voluntary treahnent is not possible because of his delusional
system and his grandiosity. In view of this, there is no less restrictive altemative than
involuntary hospitalization and treatment under a neuroleptic treatment order.
12. Machaga N. Johns lacks the capacity to make decisions regarding the administration
of neuroleptic medication because he:
a) Does not demonstrate awareness of the nature of his situation, including the
reasons for hospitalization and the possible consequences of refusing treatment with
neuroleptic medication.
0
b) Does not demonstrate an understanding of treatment including the risks,
benefits, and alternatives to neuroleptic medication ireatment.
c) Has not communicated a clear choice regazding treahnent with neuroleptic
medication that is reasonable and not based on delusions.
13. Alternatives have been considered by the Court. T"here is no reasonable and available
altemative.
14. The use of neuroleptic medication in this case is not experimental and there is not an
available altemative treatment. The benefits of treahnent with neuroleptic medication clearly
outweigh the risks and intrusiveness of treahnent. It is both reasonable and necessary that the
respondent be treated with neuroleptic medication at this time. -
15. The Court considered the respondent's_family and community, as well as respondent's
moral, religious and social values. Based on these considerations, a reasonable person would
authorize treatment with neuroleptic medication.
16. The respondent is a danger to self or others and has attempted physical hann to
himself or others and has failed to provide himself with food, clothing, shelter, safety or medical
caze.
17. Case manager is: Brent Schumacher, Mental Health Resources, 1821 University
Avenue, Suite -464, St. Paul, Minnesota 55104.
