Man in Detroit explosive case still not competent
MARQUETTE, Mich. (AP) -- A judge has ruled that an Upper Peninsula man who authorities say placed an explosive outside a Detroit federal building last year still is not mentally competent to face the charges.
The Mining Journal of Marquette reports U.S. Magistrate Judge Timothy Greeley made the determination Tuesday in the case of 44-year-old Gary Mikulich. Greeley made a similar determination in August. Mikulich is in custody for treatment to try to improve his mental health.
An email seeking comment was sent Thursday to a lawyer for Mikulich.
The Kingsford man is charged with leaving a metal box containing explosive components outside the McNamara Federal Building on Feb. 26, 2011. After Mikulich's arrest, his family said he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia 18 years ago and often refuses to take medication.
