He was most recently arrested on allegations of shoplifting items valued at under $950 and being under the influence of a controlled substance. A judge issued a warrant in both cases, which are still ongoing. However, Railsback clarified that Chase wasn’t wanted for any crimes.

“During all of our interactions, he has been cordial and cooperative with our officers,” he told TMZ, adding that the Public Safety Engagement Team was unaware of how long Chase had been homeless and whether officers had attempted to contact the 36-year-old’s family.

A GoFundMe campaign to help Chase was started by influencer Citlalli Wilson in September, but the former child actor’s mother, Paula Moisio, allegedly requested it be taken down.
“Tylor needs medical attention, not money. But he refuses it,” she reportedly said in a text message to Wilson.

“I appreciate your effort. But money would not be a benefit to him. I have gotten him several phones, but he loses them within a day or two. He can't manage money for his meds by himself,” Moisio added

On Wednesday, Chase’s father, Joseph Mendez Jr., a Georgia-based realtor, told the Daily Mail that his son was struggling with substance dependence and had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
“For over a decade, the family has sought treatment options for Tylor, including support for substance use as well as mental health care,” he said.

After his hospitalization, Chase was put on a 72-hour hold and will reportedly be moved into a rehab center. Harris got involved in the matter after The Mighty Ducks star Shaun Weiss sought his help in locating Chase.

“He is not well. He requires care beyond the scope of standard detox facilities. He needs weeks to stabilize,” Weiss told the Daily Mail via a representative.
Weiss requested privacy for Chase, adding, “He has all the resources necessary, and we should pray that he's able to recover.”
