Mental evaluation ordered in Mossyrock killing

The scheduled arraignment for a man accused of running down a Mossyrock convenience store owner has been postponed for his mental evaluation.

John David Joel Angeline reportedly told police he was the Lord and he thought the victim was a Buddha trying to cast a spell on him.

Police had to use a stun gun to subdue the 41-year-old Lakewood man when he was arrested Monday for investigation of murder.

A Lewis County deputy prosecutor told KITI Thursday that Angeline's evaluations at Western State Hospital would take about three months.

The owner of the Flying K market, 53-year-old Soon Yang, ran in front of a pickup that was leaving without paying a $34 gas bill.
