PORT HURON, Mich. (AP) - A Michigan man shot by police after officers say he charged at them with a knife has been found competent to stand trial.
The Times Herald of Port Huron reports Friday Genio Morgan has undergone a psychiatric evaluation. The report declaring him competent was presented this week to the St. Clair County court. He’s due for a preliminary exam March 19.
Morgan is charged with assault, carjacking and resisting and obstructing arrest . The Associated Press left a message Friday for defense lawyer Daniel Hilf.
Port Huron police went to a McDonald’s on Jan. 5 after receiving a call about a man stabbing himself in the parking lot and an attempted carjacking. Officers say they shot Morgan multiple times in self-defense.
A prosecutor ruled the shooting was justified.
