(KNZA)--A Horton man, accused of threatening two officers with a hatchet, will undergo a competency evaluation.

According to court documents, Brown County District Judge John Weingart on Monday granted a motion filed by the attorney for 44-year-old Ricky Lou Wabaunsee 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.

Wabaunsee was arrested last month by the Brown County Sheriff's Office on a felony warrant for aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, aggravated assault and interference with law enforcement.

The charges stem from an incident on August 25 involving an officer with the Horton Police Department and a deputy with the Brown County Sheriff's Office.

Wabaunsee remains in the Brown County Jail, held on a $75,000 bond.
