Once, Tyce, Three Times a Lady?
Arrested Again: See Update

You may remember Daniel Tyce, 27, from This is True issue #765. He was indicted in early 2009 on charges of animal cruelty and practicing veterinary medicine without a license after posing for two years as a veterinarian... and a woman. Using the name Danielle Smith, Tyce allegedly made house calls and even set up a phony animal rescue -- pocketing the donated money -- and allegedly selling any "rescued" animals on Craigslist.
Tyce is being held at the Cape May County Correctional Center on $25,000 bail.

Really, now? A suicide attempt by a thread from his sweater as a response to being busted for bad checks? Doctor, heal thyself!
Tyce has been arrested yet again, also in Middle Township, New Jersey, this time on March 8 for allegedly trying to obtain prescription drugs using a fraudulent prescription.
This time, Tyce allegedly posed as a doctor's secretary and tried to get prescription drugs from a Walgreen's pharmacy in town.
Unfortunately for him, "They're familiar with him and they called us," said investigator Lt. John Edwards.
The report has a new detail of Tyce's lengthy criminal history: he has served three years in prison for credit card fraud. We also got a new mug shot:
We're not sure what Tyce's problem is in life, but we don't think a pill bottle is the answer.

Let me make sure I understand this...
That he was able, while handcuffed, to pull a thread from his sweater? Possible.
That, while handcuffed, he was able to somehow wrap said thread around his neck? Possible.
That said thread was capable of inflicting such harm that outside intervention was necessary for revival?
So THAT'S the excuse being passed off by the Jersey police.

It seems tom me that he is better looking now than he was last time he was arrested.

Mike,
You say: "That said thread was capable of inflicting such harm that outside intervention was necessary for revival? So THAT'S the excuse being passed off by the Jersey police."
You are implying that the police may have caused him to lose consciousness. Before you accuse, you should get more information. The thread was actually a string from a hoodie, which is quite capable of causing strangulation.

Thanks for helping to explain it. Here's how the Press of Atlantic City (our source) put it: "While at police headquarters for investigation, Tyce pulled a thread from his sweater and attempted to commit suicide with it." The version you found definitely makes more sense. -rc
