CHESTERTOWN, Md. -- Former Baylor basketball player Carlton Dotson spent the weekend under closer supervision but was not on a suicide watch, according to the Kent County Detention Center warden Ronald Howell.

Howell said reports that Dotson, who is awaiting an extradition hearing after being charged with the murder of former teammate Patrick Dennehy, was placed on a suicide watch were incorrect but jailers did keep a closer eye on him.

"It's more intensive than what he was on," Howell told the Associated Press on Monday, adding that Dotson didn't try to hurt himself and apparently calmed down later the same day.

The Washington Post reported Monday that guards found Dotson nude and hurling objects out of his cell this past weekend and was placed on suicide watch.

"For his protection, he's sleeping on paper sheets," Dotson's attorney, Grady Irvin Jr., told the newspaper. "My hope is that my client will not find himself the fall guy. The only thing that I can hope for is that Carlton will be competent enough some day to piece all of this together to tell his side of the story, clear up a very muddy picture and bring focus to those who have been able to avoid detection."

Interviews with Dotson's friends and family members in Hurlock, Md., reveal that Dotson has displayed behavior consistent with mental illness since returning from Baylor around June 15, according to the Post. Those interviewed have said Dotson spoke of having acquired special powers, of hearing voices and of wrestling with demons in his room at night, pointing to bloody wounds on his skin the next day as proof.

Dotson, through his attorney, and case investigators declined to comment when reached by the Post. Dotson will appear Tuesday before a judge who will eventually determine if he must return to Texas to face murder charges, the Post reported.

Dennehy's former girlfriend, Jessica De La Rosa, told the newspaper that Dotson could be faking mental illness to avoid or lessen his punishment because of Texas' reputation for enforcing the death penalty.

"I don't think he's crazy," she said. "He might be crazy now, but I don't think he was crazy at the time."

In the month that Dotson has been jailed, family members, a prison guard and two ministers who have met with him frequently say he has displayed sharp mood swings.

"There's two Carlton Dotsons," the guard at the Kent County jail said in an interview with the Post. "One is a model prisoner who does everything you tell him and the other ... well, boy, he's out there."

Shortly before he was arrested, Dotson told Rev. Frederick Jones, the senior pastor at the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Chestertown, that he had great powers and that "his greatest powers would be received when he was dead," Jones said.

Jones' associate pastor, Rev. Ellsworth Tolliver, has visited Dotson in jail a half-dozen times and has kept a record of their meetings in his diary.

"Carlton is a good young man," Tolliver said. "I have seen some changes in him, some for the better and some for the worse."
