The fitness to stand trial of two Mason County defendants is in doubt, as both of the men face charges for separate incidents of extreme behavior.

8th Circuit Judge Alan D. Tucker agreed with the findings of a local medical professional and declared William J. Broerman unfit to participate in his own defense Feb. 23 and placed the man in the custody of the Department of Human Services for treatment until the man can be stabilized mentally to the point that he can assist his attorney effectively.

The 36-year-old Loda man has seemed frustrated and discombobulated in his court appearances since his Sept. 11 arrest.

Broerman apparently stole a truck with guns in it late in the evening of Sept. 10 and drove a few hours to the outskirts of Havana with no memory of these actions when he came to in the parked truck outside of a Quiver Road residence in the morning.

He broke into the house and yelled for the homeowner to come down, which the man did after arming himself. The surprised homeowner came downstairs to find an armed Broerman eating a Mounds bar he found in the freezer, and the man talked Broerman into giving up the gun before he called police.

Broerman has a fitness review hearing scheduled for May to see if he has improved enough to stand trial at that time.

A Manito man is set to receive a fitness evaluation on the advice of his attorney. Brian M. Claiborne, 47, is accused of going to the home of an acquaintance in August whom he thought was sleeping with his wife. Claiborne allegedly stabbed the man several times in the mans backyard before he sped off in his car, while drunk, before crashing after a few miles.

Claiborne faces an attempted murder charge, as well as several charges stemming from the drunken fleeing attempt.

A court hearing to review the evaluation is set for mid-March, so that the trial could still go forward in April if Claiborne is found to be fit to assist his attorney in his own defense.

Both men are represented by public defender Roger Thomson.
