PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A mentally ill man who stabbed a clerk at a Portland post office has been sent to Oregon State Hospital.
James Stephen Reagh was found to be guilty except for insanity for the June 10 assault and was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years of supervision by state psychiatric officials.
The Oregonian reports (http://is.gd/SxrVUE) the 48-year-old could be released from the hospital to a group home before 10 years is up. The state Psychiatric Security Review Board would still have supervision.
Reagh had followed a woman into the post office where she asked for help. He stabbed a clerk who tried to get him to leave.
