Actually, it sounds like you are on the right track..........If he has trouble with authority I wouldn't go to him as a crowd. Have each friend talk to him one by one....Personal level, one on one sincere conversation.......

It sounds like you are definitely in the right space. Yet, one thing to remember, no matter how it turns out it is not your fault. His actions are his actions. I don't know about "leaving him to fend for himself". You are right, it would not be the right thing to do. You can be supportive but don't carry his burden for him. Professional advice is the right course. Even if there is nothing terribly wrong, seeking a professional does not hurt.

You are a good friend. This type of thing is going to happen to more people you know throughout your life for one reason or the other....It is good to learn the proper recourse.
