Wayne briefs
The trial for a Vietnam War veteran accused of possessing explosives outside a mosque was adjourned Tuesday until July so he can undergo psychiatric evaluations. Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Bruce Morrow ordered Roger Stockham, 63, to undergo the competency hearings after learning Stockham sent a letter to the Islamic Center of America last week. His attorney, Matthew Evans, said the letter was just "a rant." Stockham is charged with making a false report or threat of terrorism and possessing explosives with unlawful intent. Police arrested Stockham Jan. 24 outside the mosque on the Detroit and Dearborn border and said he had fireworks, spray paint and a ski mask in his car.
