Write up is from Fightful:
Phillip A. Thomas, the man who attempted to kidnap Sonya Deville in August 2020, won't be going to trial.
According to Raj Giri of Wrestling Inc, Thomas was found incompetent to stand trial and is awaiting transfer to Florida State Hospital in Chattahoochee, Florida.
The order prevents Thomas, who is currently incarcerated, from going near Deville's home, within 100 feet of her vehicles or any places requested by Deville where she, members of her family or those closely associated with her "regularly frequent." The ruling also prevents Thomas from using or possessing any firearm or ammunition.
The order states Thomas "shall not commit, or cause any other person to commit, any acts of stalking against Petitioner, including stalking, cyber-stalking, aggravated stalking, or any criminal offense resulting in physical injury or death. Respondent shall not commit any other violation of this injunction through an intentional unlawful threat, word, or act to do violence to Petitioner."
Thomas was charged with Aggravated Stalking, Armed Burglary of a Dwelling, Attempted Armed Kidnapping, and Criminal Mischief.
Deville is currently part of Raw and SmackDown as an authority figure next to Adam Pearce.
Fightful will continue to update fans on the case as more is known.

Fit to stand trial or not, this guy needs to be under some sort of supervision.

The beginning of the story makes it sound like he’s being committed. But then, all the orders against him make it sound like he’s going to have some sort of supervised release. This guy should not be on the streets.

I sadly would like to know why or what he said to make this determination. I get, he has mental problems, just wondering |

The insanity defense is rarely tried for that reason. Being declared mentally unfit and being remanded indefinitely to a mental hospital usually means a longer sentence than prison. |

Being in a state hospital, you are under the care of the psychiatrist and the doctor decides when you are safe to be released.
There was a case from my city where someone murdered his landlord. Would had 25 years max but was unfit due to mental illness. Last I knew he was at 28 years in a state hospital.

Yeah, not guilty by reason of insanity most likely means a longer stay in a psychiatric hospital than just a guilty verdict... also if you are later found to be competent... you can still be brought up on charges, |

Yeah, there's no easy slap on the wrist insanity defenses anymore, because the lawyer of the douchebag that murdered Harvey Milk ruined that for everyone.

These terms don't necessarily mean that he's getting out or is getting a weak sentence, but those are just standard terms thrown on top of things in charges like this. ANy release he does get at any point he gets it will absolutely fall apart if he's caught doing any of these things, and that's an even harsher yanking-back.

If Deville can insist he not be somewhere she or her family is, isn't it already too late? I guess that ruling's in there in case they both legit accidentally walk into the same McDonalds and she wants him kicked out? Right? That part reads weird to me.

Sonya Deville (and pretty much anyone in the general public) will not be accidentally running into Phillip Thomas any time soon. If you are unfit for trial, you are also deemed unfit to go about a daily life. He is going to be locked up in a mental hospital for a very long time. |

If you are found not fit to stand trial, generally you go to some kind of secure unit anyway. And if you ever recover enough to be fit to stand trial, guess what? You get put on trial!
