A series of psychiatric facilities run by the Church of
Scientology in Cannon County, Tenn. has been closed after police found
that patients there were being held against their will.
Via Tony Ortega, the Cannon Courier
reports that several facilities in the county were shut down after
police received a 911 call from someone within one of the facilities,
whom they found locked inside a cabin with no way to get out.
The man then told officers that he had been held at the
facility for the past nine months, during which he had been treated with
unknown drugs.
The operator of the facilities, a man named Marc Vallieres,
was arrested and charged with two felony counts of facilitation of
kidnapping, while two other men who worked at the facility pled guilty
to misdemeanors.
The Cannon County Sheriff’s Department subsequently
announced that all the facilities had been closed and were no longer
operating in the county.
