BENTONVILLE -- A Missouri man accused of shooting at his former wife will undergo a mental evaluation, a judge has ruled.
Michael Doll, 50, of Jasper, Mo., is charged with attempted capital murder, aggravated residential burglary and first-degree battery. Doll is free on $500,000 bond. He appeared in court Monday for his arraignment.
Shane Wilkinson, Doll's attorney, requested the mental evaluation. Wilkinson wants the evaluation to consider whether Doll is fit to stand trial.
Benton County Circuit Judge Robin Green granted the request and suspended proceedings pending the mental evaluation, which will be conducted at the State Hospital in Little Rock. A mental status hearing is scheduled for 8 a.m. Nov. 7.
Bella Vista police received a 911 call from 39 Applecross Lane at 12:35 p.m. June 7, according to court documents. A woman reported her ex-husband was trying to break into her home, said Police Chief Ken Farmer. Gunfire was heard on the phone and the caller said a man had shot her, Farmer said.
Farmer said there was an exchange of gunfire, but he didn't know how many shots the man and the woman fired. The woman was grazed in the side by a bullet and was treated at the scene, Farmer said.
Doll's release status also was discussed at Monday's hearing.
Wilkinson said Doll's whereabouts are tracked by a GPS monitor.
"Anyone with concern can watch where he's going live," Wilkinson said.
