Sounds like that firefighter story is true.
Former Chicago Bears defensive lineman Jeremiah Ratliff made death threats and claimed to be the devil during multiple visits to team headquarters on Oct. 21, according to the report released Friday by the Lake Forest Police Department.
Ratliff showed up at Halas Hall in no condition to work on the morning of Oct. 21, multiple people familiar with the situation have said. After Ratliff was sent home, the Bears decided to cut the four-time Pro Bowler.
After Ratliff was informed of his release, he returned to team headquarters, parked outside the security gate and came onto the property on foot, saying he needed to gather his belongings.
According to the police report, Ratliff at one point said “he felt like killing everybody in the building.”
Ratliff left with his belongings without further incident. However, he returned to Halas Hall a short time later, saying he needed to retrieve his cell phone, according to the report. During that visit, he said, “I am the devil” and that he “wished staff member’s children would die.”
The Bears asked Ratliff to leave the property and not return. They called police to request additional security, partly because they believed Ratliff owns multiple firearms, the report says.
