More details have come to light regarding troubled Creed singer Scott Stapp’s apparent recent meltdown, with a 911 call from his wife obtained by TMZ revealing that the musician claimed to be a CIA agent on a mission to assassinate Barack Obama.

In the call made to police late last month, Stapp’s wife Jaclyn Stapp said the singer was “Off of the drugs, going crazy, on a bike, not wearing a shirt,” and carrying reams of documents containing an assassination plot against Barack Obama.

“He thinks he’s part of the CIA, he thinks they’re trying to kill him, and he has a bunch of paperwork in his backpack that he’s a CIA agent and he’s supposed to kill Obama,” Jaclyn says, after telling dispatch that the singer had just gotten out of a mental facility in Tallahassee, and that she believed he was in danger. “He thinks he’s being trained by the CIA.”

Jaclyn says that she had called Stapp’s treatment centre and was told to contact police about his behaviour, and tells the 911 dispatcher that in addition to paperwork the singer was carrying tools — “a wrench, screwdrivers, and lots of hard drives” — in his backpacks.
