The call to Orange County Sheriff's Department is made when the boy refuses medical aid after cutting himself.

A Rancho Santa Margarita man asked for help from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department late Tuesday because he needed assistance with his son.

The resident wanted to take the 17-year-old boy, who was described as being 5 feet 10 inches and 255 pounds, to UC Irvine Medical Center.

According to the OCSD blotter, the boy cut himself on some glass, was possibly high on drugs and has a bad and violent temper. The boy turned out to be too big of a handful for his father and refused medical aid, prompting the call for police assistance.
