Ex-ARSENAL star Glenn Helder has been sent to a psychiatric hospital.
The Dutch winger was jailed last year for illegal gun possession, threatening his ex-girlfriend and assaulting her current partner.
Former Holland star Helder, 39, has been committed to the De Waag institution in Haarlem.
According to Dutch reports, he has been diagnosed with "narcissistic personality disorder with hints of borderline psychosis".
Helder previously tried to commit suicide after becoming addicted to gambling.
Helder, George Graham's last signing as Arsenal manager when he moved from Vitesse Arnhem for £2.5m in 1995, made 39 Premiership appearances and scored one goal in his time at Highbury.
