WASHINGTON -- Brad Parscale, former campaign manager for US President Donald Trump, was hospitalized on Sunday after threatening to harm himself inside his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a local newspaper reported.

Parscale had a tense exchange with police, during which he was armed and barricaded himself inside his home, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Officials told the newspaper that the encounter was short and Parscale was was later taken to a hospital under a law that allows authorities to detain someone who may be a threat to themselves or others.

"Brad Parscale is a member of our family and we all love him. We are ready to support him and his family in any way possible," Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh said in a statement.

Parscale, 44, stepped down as manager of the Trump campaign in July but has continued overseeing its digital strategy.

He was replaced by Bill Stepien, Trump's former director of political affairs at the White House.
