BEND, Ore. – An Oregon man accused of hitting his mother multiple times in the head with a gavel has been found guilty except for insanity of attempted murder.
The Bend Bulletin reported Friday that 24-year-old Austin Miltenberger will be evaluated to see if he should be committed to the state psychiatric hospital or if he can be placed in community-based housing with appropriate supervision.
Miltenberger was arrested and charged with attempted murder, second-degree assault and unlawful use of a weapon after being accused of striking his mother, Karen Morse, multiple times in March 2013.
