(KNZA)--A Fairview man, facing a charge of sexual exploitation of a child, will undergo a competency evaluation.
According to court documents, Brown County District Court Judge John Weingart on Tuesday granted a motion filed by the attorney for Dakota Wilhite for the evaluation, which will be conducted by Kanza Mental Health.
Court proceedings in the case have been placed on hold pending the outcome of the evaluation.
Wilhite was arrested in August after Brown County Sheriff's deputies responded to a disturbance call in Hiawatha.
Following an investigation, he was formally charged with a felony count of sexual exploitation of child under 18, along with two misdemeanor drug charges.
Wilhite remains free on bond.
