JACKSON, Mich. — Threats to rape women and kill himself, led Jackson Police to take a man off the streets on Wednesday.
It all started with disturbing Facebook posts that drew a court order for a mental health evaluation.
Jennifer Watters' niece received an explicit Facebook message from the individual.
"Bothers me as a mom, aunt, friend," Watters stated.
Court records show Joseph McDonald, 27, of Jackson posted on Facebook, "It's official. Next girl I see I'm raping. Got a problem, put me in jail. I'll kill myself. Sex is a human right."
Several people reported troubling interactions and receiving sexually-explicit messages from McDonald.
Watters started spreading the word on Facebook after talking to her niece.
"Just the fact that she is underage and he is in his twenties and that's not cool," Watters said.
This is not the first time McDonald has been in the Facebook spotlight.
In 2018, he made a complaint with the courts against a women for posting on her page, "Be careful of this man."
He blames the woman for his failure to get a job at Sprint, and says she defamed him in the Jackson area.
The woman says her post was shared nearly 900 times with people backing up her allegations of harassment.
Watters did her own research.
"I found back 2015 of a mental illness record and to me that's alarming and something needs to be done," Watters said.
Wednesday, Jackson police picked up McDonald on a court order for a mental health evaluation.
He was taken to the Henry Ford Emergency Unit.
A PPO for stalking was filed against McDonald this morning.
At this time, Jackson Police have not charged him with a crime.
