A Wisconsin Rapids man appeared in Wood County Court for attempting to kill a relative.

According to investigators, Tommy Ehrisman went into the bedroom of a female relative who was living with him and put a pillow over her face. He stopped and told her to call the police. Ehrisman said he had been having thoughts of self-harm. He’s being charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide and suffocation.

Ehrisman appeared in court on Monday for a Competency Hearing. The judge found Ehrisman incompetent to stand trial, but felt that he could gain competency within the next 12 months with treatment. He was committed to the Department of Health Services and all court proceedings are suspended for now.
