The 18-year-old Gibraltar High School student, who was charged with felony Possession of a Firearm on the Grounds of a School back in March, was found not competent to stand trial on Tuesday.
During the competency trial, Door County Circuit Court Judge David Weber ruled that Aidan Rice didn't understand the court proceedings and could not assist in his defense.
Rice, who was 17 at the time of the incident, said then that a former student led to him bringing a gun to Gibraltar for multiple days until his arrest on March 15th. In his criminal complaint, Rice said he was scared of a former student who allegedly pounded on a bathroom door while he was at Wal-Mart a week prior. He added in the complaint that he knew it was illegal to bring the gun, but he had it to protect himself in case the former student showed up. School Resource Officer Heather Bemmann stated then that the unidentified student had not been on campus since last November.
Court records show that a status case review is scheduled for October 24. If Rice is deemed competent to stand trial then or later, the case can resume.
