“I went to jail for, like, 36 hours, and I was seeing all this stuff about me on TV, and I wasn't, you know, I was freaky. But my attorney tells me, look, dude, you have to check in to Cedar Hills Hospital, mental hospital because you're not quite right. So eventually, I did follow his advice. I went there and checked in, and stayed there for, like, Two and a half weeks”

Assessment

The claim bundles two legs regarding the aftermath of Dave Dahl's November 14, 2013 arrest. Leg 1 is verified: contemporary law enforcement reporting and local news coverage (such as The Portland Tribune and KGW News) confirm Dahl was booked into Washington County Jail at approximately 10:00 p.m. on November 14 and released on bail between 1:30 p.m. and 2:15 p.m. on November 16, 2013, totaling roughly 39.5 to 40 hours (consistent with the approximate 36-hour estimate). Leg 2 is only partially verified: while contemporary reporting and court records from The Oregonian and subsequent trial coverage confirm Dahl underwent inpatient psychiatric hospitalization and stabilization following the incident due to a severe Bipolar I manic episode, independent public documentation confirming the specific facility (Cedar Hills Hospital) and the precise duration of two and a half weeks is unavailable in public records due to standard medical privacy.

Washington County Sheriff's Office booking records and contemporaneous reporting by The Portland Tribune and KGW News show Dave Dahl was arrested around 10:00 p.m. on November 14, 2013, and released on bail the afternoon of November 16, 2013 (~39.5–40 hours).
Court records and investigative reporting from The Oregonian confirm Dahl experienced a psychiatric crisis during the incident and was admitted to an inpatient psychiatric facility post-arrest, but independent public records do not confirm the specific facility name (Cedar Hills Hospital) or exact duration (2.5 weeks).
