Phila. man who threatened Congressman not fit for trial

A Philadelphia man who threatened a Congressman and his family in a YouTube video has been found incompetent to stand trial and ordered to undergo psychiatric treatment.

Norman Leboon, 38, will be sent to a federal prison and mental health facility for four months, with the goal of treating him so he is capable of standing trial, Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert K. Reed said Tuesday.

Leboon appears in the video attacking U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor (R., Va.), the Republican House whip.

The incident received wide attention, coming as it did shortly after the Democratic-controlled Congress passed President Obama's controversial health care bill.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Jacob P. Hart ordered Leboon's detention following a psychiatric examination. He will likely go to a facility in Butner, N.C., said Reed.

Leboon has been previously diagnosed as suffering from "multiple-personality" disorder, and told FBI agents he is "the son of (the) god of Enoch," according to court documents. Enoch is a figure from the book of Genesis.

At the time of his arrest last month, Leboon was wanted on an outstanding city warrant for failing to appear in Municipal Court last July on terroristic threats and assault charges.
