EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - A man accused of firing a gunshot while watching New England’s come-from-behind victory in the Super Bowl has been deemed unfit to stand trial.

Court records show a judge ordered Donald Bolden transferred from the Lane County Jail to the Oregon State Hospital.

The Register-Guard reports (https://is.gd/VZrHRK ) the move came after a psychological evaluation, the results of which were sealed by the court.



Police said Bolden was having a one-sided argument with a man at the bar of a Eugene restaurant when he pulled out a gun and fired. The bullet struck the bar.

An off-duty police sergeant dining in the restaurant helped detain Bolden.

The 63-year-old Florence man is charged with disorderly conduct, unlawful use of a weapon, attempted assault with a firearm and recklessly endangering another person.
