PORT ANGELES — A judge has ruled that a prison inmate accused of trying to kill a Clallam Bay Corrections Center deputy is not competent to stand trial.

The Peninsula Daily News reports 31-year-old Abdinjib Ibraham was ordered this week to undergo competency restoration at Western State Hospital for the second time in as many years.

Ibraham is charged in Clallam County Superior Court with attempted murder for an attack on corrections Deputy Terry Breedlove on Jan. 25, 2016.

The Clallam County Sheriff’s Office says Ibraham used a metal stool to repeatedly strike the Forks man until he was unconscious.

Ibraham was charged by the state Attorney General’s Office in June.

He was ordered to undergo competency restoration at the state hospital in August but after he appeared to meet stands for competency was sent to a prison near Shelton where a psychologist says his condition deteriorated.
