All court proceedings have been halted by the judge until after the evaluation.

Hutchison is due in Clark County District Court for the competency hearing on Sept. 9.

The judge also ordered him to continue to be held without bail and cited the first incident at Harry Reid on Saturday as one of the reasons.
