The detention took place on May 23, 2026. In the video, Nicholas Jordan Wagter could be seen looking to his passenger window while a man identified as Dr. Emory (some posts say “Emery”) is introduced, a resident psychiatrist on rotation with CAR 87, who is “part of a program that includes Vancouver Coastal Health and the Vancouver Police.”
