In a newly released 911 call obtained by Us Weekly, Sheets called the Lake Havasu Police Department about the alleged cyberbullying that he was facing.
He said, “I’m kind of, like, a celebrity on TV, and for the last two months, I’ve had somebody threatening me and doing all this stuff. Tonight, they just sent me a demand ransom text stating that I had 24 hours to take care of it or they’re going to burn my shop down and they’re going to get my girlfriend in Orange County.”
In the call, Sheets claimed that he knew the identity of the alleged stalker and even named them.
He told the dispatcher, “I tried to bear this for the last few months. But it’s really bad right now.”
The dispatcher told Sheets that a police officer would call for more information.
It’s unclear when Sheets made the 911 call.
Sheets died from a self-inflicted gunshot to the head.
