"He was telling her that he hated his sister and had issues with her," Mr. Rapadas stated in his declaration of probable cause against Mr. Mateo, "then attempted to hang himself with his shoelaces."

Mr. Rapadas is bringing charges of third degree felony terrorizing and third degree felony family violence with a special allegation of possession and use of a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony against Mr. Mateo.
