A Slater man charged with a couple of felonies after authorities were called to the scene of a reported disturbance on January 28 has a court proceeding scheduled.

Authorities say when they arrived Scott Douglas Brown was standing the doorway of another person’s apartment holding a long knife with an approximate 12-inch blade in one hand and a claw hammer in the other. Instructing Brown to drop the knife and hammer several times didn’t work, so authorities say they eventually deployed numerous Tasers and took him into custody.

Court documents say Brown is charged with felonies for unlawful use of a weapon- exhibiting and resisting arrest for a felony. Bond remains at $10,000 cash only.

The case was suspended on April 27 for Brown to undergo a mental evaluation. Now, his preliminary hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 1, at Saline County Circuit Court.
