A Lawrence man accused of attempted murder after allegedly driving a vehicle with a passenger into Lone Star Lake has been declared mentally incompetent.
The Douglas County District Court on Wednesday ruled that Jeremy S. Williams, 22, is currently not competent to stand trial for the charges he is facing and ordered him to receive treatment at a state hospital, according to court records.
With the court’s ruling, Williams will be transferred from Douglas County Jail to Larned State Hospital, said Deputy District Attorney Joshua Seiden. Williams’ case will remain pending while he receives treatment and attempts to restore competency, Seiden said.
