LAKEPORT ? A Rohnert Park man accused of attempted murder passed out and fell onto the floor Tuesday in court as he was asking questions about the 10 charges against him.
Correctional Officers helped Joshua Wandry, 35, into his chair, where medical personnel administered fluid intravenously, said District Attorney Jon Hopkins. Medics put him in a wheelchair and took him out of the courtroom before he could enter a plea.
Wandry, Thomas Dudney and Deborah James allegedly shot, beat and hogtied Ronald Greiner, 49, on Oct. 20 at the Lakeport man”s home on South Main Street behind the Record-Bee building.
Hopkins didn”t have any details on Wandry”s condition. He also couldn”t release an update on Greiner”s last condition of stable, he said.
Wandry and Dudney are charged with attempted premeditated murder, aggravated mayhem, torture, simple mayhem, home invasion robbery in concert with another, first-degree burglary, assault with a firearm, assault with a blunt force object, assault likely to produce great bodily injury and serious battery.
Three of the charges carry a life sentence. Special allegations that great bodily injury was inflicted and use of a firearm accompany the charges.
Hopkins wouldn”t guess why Wandry fell to the ground, but said there are “instances where people plan to escape and tie it into a medical issue.”
Wandry is scheduled to return to court 9 a.m. Friday in Department 2 with court appointed attorney, Stephen Carter. James appeared in court Monday, but her arraignment was also held over until 9 a.m. Friday in Department 2. The court appointed Komnith Moth as her attorney.
James is charged with attempted premeditated murder, home invasion robbery in concert with another and first-degree burglary. Special allegations that a principal was armed with a firearm in commission of the offense accompany the charges.
Dudney pleaded not guilty to his charges in October and is scheduled to return to court Monday.
