Rochester Hills Man Yells In Mosque, 'Jesus Is God': Sheriff

ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — Mental health treatment is being sought for a 30-year-old Rochester Hills man who has now twice visited local mosques and displayed suspicious behavior, according to authorities.

The Oakland County Sheriff’s Department said Wednesday evening that The Islamic Association of Greater Detroit in Rochester Hills called to report a suspicious person who came into the mosque, took off his shoes, sat down, and a few minutes later stood up and yelled, “You guys will go to hell, Jesus is God.”

When the man was asked to leave, he reportedly got onto a bicycle, rode west on Auburn toward Livernois while continuing to repeat, “You guys will go to hell, Jesus is God.”

According to authorities, just days prior, the same man had gone to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Center in Rochester Hills where he asked to go inside to see the mosque. The man was told he would need an escort to see the inside of the mosque, according to the police report.

The man, who was wearing a large cross necklace, then stated it was okay he would just look around the outside of the mosque, also adding that he was interested in becoming a member of the mosque. He was then seen approaching children and telling them they are practicing a fake religion, the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office said.

That day he entered a burgundy mercury Sable and left the area, police said.

The mosque provided police with a video of both incidents along with a photograph of the subject’s plate and deputies were able to identify the person as a Rochester Hills resident.

Police say a detective and the man’s father obtained a court order for mental health treatment. His father confirmed that his son lives with him and that the son was no longer taking his medication, which has been causing his unstable behavior, according to the report.

The man was then transported to a local mental health care facility per the court order.
