The man accused of fatally stabbing a young Ukrainian refugee aboard a North Carolina train erupted in court on Tuesday, screaming at a federal judge moments before he was formally declared unfit to stand trial.
Decarlos Brown Jr, 35, repeatedly interrupted proceedings during a hearing in Charlotte, demanding to know whether the judge had reviewed his mental health evaluation and insisting he wanted to press charges against the FBI.
Brown continued shouting as court officers moved to escort him from the courtroom, making remarks about having ‘material in his body’ and asking whether the judge had received a letter from his mother.
US District Judge Kenneth D Bell ordered Brown committed to a federal medical facility for treatment after mental health experts concluded he is presently unable to understand the legal proceedings against him or properly assist in his own defense.
