Authorities are looking for James Durgin, 54, after he abandoned a court-mandated drug rehab program.
James Durgin, 54, is on the run after abandoning a court-mandated drug rehab program. San Francisco police and officers with the U.S. Park Police are now looking for Durgin, an unhoused man with a troubled past, who was required to remain in the live-in rehab program for at least one year as part of a court order issued last summer.
While on the run from police, Durgin was recently spotted naked during a stroll through San Francisco’s Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood. Durgin, a former Bay Area school teacher and gym instructor, has been arrested and released at least 60 times in San Francisco for a range of crimes, including burglary, violence, and drug use, according to law enforcement officials and NBC Bay Area’s review of court documents. His ongoing legal struggles embody the sort of “revolving door” that has long led to criticism of the criminal justice system.
