"He called the police on himself. He wanted help," Lindsay said.
 
Thomas was "dysfunctional" and bipolar and had had previous run-ins with police, she said.
 
Pasadena police said officers were called to the residence at 2:20 am for a "domestic disturbance with a suspect at the location armed with a knife."
 
The man did not comply with officers' orders and tried to "re-enter an occupied apartment," according to a Pasadena Police Department news release. After a Taser was used on the man, a fight ensued. More
