A Manitowoc man accused of stabbing his cousin has been ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
Ryan A. King was in court recently, where he pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect to charges of Attempted Homicide and two counts of False Imprisonment.
King was arrested following the May 25th incident last year.
Officers had been called to the home of a 36-year-old man on South 20th Street after the victim’s mother called to report the stabbing.
The victim told police that King became upset and began talking about Satan.
King denied stabbing the victim but did admit to getting upset with him.
King will be back before Judge Jerilyn Dietz on February 21st for a status conference.
