Fox news has reported the hostage taker in Rochester, NH is a man named Troy Stanley, a local with alleged mental health issues.

We were told by an eyewitness that the suspect is named Troy Stanley. The eyewitness reporting this to Fox News is Cody Bennet. Cody Bennet is friends with Troy Stanley’s son, Troy Stanley Jr. According to Troy Stanley Jr, his father went to a hardware story earlier in the day and bought road side flares to use as fake explosive devices.

A lone man walked into Hillary Clinton’s New Hampshire office with a bomb strapped to his chest. The situation there is still unfolding, but early reports say the man suspected of holding two Clinton staffers hostage is named Troy Stanley – he may have been drinking for 72 hours straight and have flares taped to his chest.

According to Fox News, alleged hostage taker Troy Stanley may have been sleeping in the woods in recent weeks.

Fox News spoke to Troy Stanley’s ex-wife of 20 years, who reported that Stanley is “a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic who has not been taking his meds.” His medicinal regimen includes lithium, but he has not been taking it recently.

“Some of the folks here inform us that in recent weeks and days he’s actually been sleeping in the woods outside of town….He has described over the years what he believes to be a government conspiracy against him. And has told his son and his friends and family that he’s had a chip implanted in his head by the US government.”

Stanley reportedly told his son to “watch the news today”.

Police arrested the hostage taker, identified by local law enforcement officials as Leeland Eisenberg, 47, of Somersworth, N.H., claimed he wanted to contact the presidential candidate to complain about his mental-health treatment.
A local man with a history of mental illness, he had entered the Main Street storefront office around 12:45 p.m.
He allegedly told his son to “watch the news,” a well-placed law enforcement source told ABC News’ Pierre Thomas.

A witness who spoke with Eisenberg’s stepson said that he asked family members where he could purchase road flares. Some officials speculated that he may have the flares strapped to his body. A friend of the family said that Eisenberg thought that there was a government conspiracy and that government officials were “coming after him.”

Of Eisenberg, witness Cody Bennet said, “I don’t personally know him, but I’ve been told he has mental illnesses,” Bennet said. “Some sort of conspiracy theories, he has been ranting about.”
