Tim Siniard reports: A pretrial status conference for a 41-year-old Cleveland man arrested and indicted on multiple charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot was rescheduled during a proceeding held in a Washington federal court on August 10th.

The status conference for Joseph Lino “Jose” Padilla was to be held in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. However, the conference was reset for 9:30 a.m. Monday, Oct. 17, at the request of Padilla’s attorney, Michael Conkwright.

Padilla faces a 12-count indictment by a federal grand jury on charges that include obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder, assaulting a law enforcement officer with a deadly or dangerous weapon, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

If convicted, Padilla, could serve up to 10 years in prison.

Padilla’s attorney told Judge John Bates he and his client are still determining whether to take the case to trial or submit a plea.

In addition, Conkwright said Padilla will undergo a PTSD evaluation, which he said “will take some time” to work through.

A typical shopping day at Walmart in Bradley County led to a scary situation Tuesday.

According to a Bradley County Sheriff’s Office report, Doyle Herron walked up to a shoppers car window, asked for help.

When no one helped him, Herron began shooting into the air.

A family member says Herron struggles with mental health issues and questions how police handled the situation.

A witness says when Herron was in the parking lot, he said “I’m going to take this place by storm” while holding his firearm.

However, Herron’s niece Janae Milen says says there are mental health concerns at play in this situation.

Milen says Herron tried to get mental health treatment this past May and was diagnosed with delusional schizophrenia.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, his delusional disorder is a type of mental health condition in which a person can’t tell what’s real from what’s imagined.

An arrest affidavit says Herron was charged with reckless endangerment, two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of assault on an officer, and resisting arrest.

His family says deputies went too far in how they handled the situation.
