About an hour later, he said he felt like he was "Ryan Spears, AKA Britney Spears."
He continued to say, "This sucks. I never hurt anyone. I’ve only ever loved everyone [and] prayed for people. And I try to make a change in this cruel world. I love you Christ Jesus, Amen."
On Saturday just before 6 p.m., Garcia was arrested for felony vandalism at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Beverly Hills.
He was then hospitalized after authorities said he complained of a medical issue, his attorney, Darin Chavez, confirmed to TMZ.
Chavez added his client could be charged for public intoxication.
In a 2022 interview with FOX 11, Garcia opened up about his struggles with mental health.
