LIMA, OH (WLIO) - A Lima man who allegedly stabbed and killed his mother in 2020 has now been ruled competent to stand trial.
A mental evaluation report on Joseph Cheney was presented to Allen County Common Pleas Court where it confirmed the competency restoration. Cheney was previously ruled incompetent back in 2020 after he originally entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. Cheney will now be entered back into the court system to determine a date for further pretrials.
Police say that Cheney allegedly stabbed his mother 71-year-old Rachel Cheney back on May 27th of 2020 at 908 East Kibby Street.
