A mental evaluation for Robbie Wayne Davis, the man accused of trying to kill his 57-year-old step-uncle with a potentially deadly dose of insulin, is expected to be reviewed at his arraignment Friday.

Davis' arraignment was continued last week after defense attorney Alex Stalker announced he was still waiting for the report from Dr. Ken Muscatel.

Clallam County Superior Court Judge Christopher Melly reset the arraignment for 9 a.m. Friday.

Davis, 39, had the mental evaluation after co-counsel John Hayden raised the issue of his client's mental competency.

Port Angeles police allege that Davis injected Richard Haynes with insulin while Haynes was hospitalized at Olympic Medical Center on June 15.

Haynes, who has Down syndrome, is not diabetic.

According to the certification for probable cause, a nurse found Haynes with dangerously low blood sugar about an hour after Davis left Haynes' room at 9:18 p.m. that day.

Haynes was treated for hypoglycemia.
