On a lighter note...Ex-Enron CEO hospitalized

Jeffrey Skilling is taken to a Manhattan hospital following reports of his 'erratic' behavior.
April 9, 2004: 7:04 PM EDT


NEW YORK (CNN) - Former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling was taken to a Manhattan hospital early Friday morning after police responded to several 9-1-1 calls from residents complaining he was "acting erratically" on an Upper East Side street corner and "accusing them of being FBI agents," police said.


New York Police department officials told CNN an "intoxicated, uncooperative" Skilling was taken into custody at approximately 4 a.m., after the officer on the scene determined him to be an "emotionally disturbed person." Police took him to a midtown hospital for evaluation.

Skilling was not arrested or charged with anything, police said.

Skilling, the highest-ranked ex-Enron executive to be charged in the government's investigation, pleaded not guilty in February to charges of fraud and insider trading.

He faces 10 counts of insider trading; 15 counts of securities fraud; four counts of wire fraud; six counts of making false statements to auditors, and one count of conspiracy to commit wire and securities fraud.

If convicted on all charges Skilling could spend the rest of his life in prison and pay up to $80 million in fines.

Skilling's attorney, Daniel Petrocelli, was not immediately available for comment.
