Your brother is a solider and he committed a federal crime. He signed the DD Form2 (enlistment papers) and he went and became a deserter. If you have DOCUMENTED proof that he is mentally unstable, I suggest you forward it to the Reciption Batallion and have your brother go to the nearest military recruiter/MEPS/military instillation and turn himself in for discharge.

The police can pick him up as desertion is the only military charge that Congress specifically mentioned in giving to Civil authorities.
