Yeah, I would definitly have your sister come stay with you until she can completly leave that place. People that are off of their psych medications are very, very scary and irrational. I know, I work in a psych hospital(again...). They can lash out with no external warning or stimulus. I would not suggest that your sister or anyone other than the police try to confront this guy, it's just asking for trouble.
I'd also research the laws in your state concerning involuntary commitment of a person into a psych hospital. They differ from state to state. I know here in Tennessee the person either has to be an immediate threat to their self or others before they can be commited. In your state its possible that they can't be commited unless they are a threat to themselves. Meaning that the police have very little they are able to do concerning this guy.
