U. S. prosecutors have said that a federal judge in Tuesday found a man charged with threatening to kill a Republican congressional leader is incompetent to stand trial.

The Philadelphia Inquirer has reported that assistant U. S. Attorney Robert K. Reed said Norman Leboon, 38, will be sent to a federal prison and mental health facility, where it is hoped by authorities that he can receive treatment and then be fit to stand trial for allegedly threatening to kill House Minority Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia.

Leboon was charged last month with making the threats in a video posted on YouTube.

It was further reported by the newspaper that Leboon has been diagnosed in the past as suffering from "multiple-personality" disorder. Court documents indicate he told investigators he is "the son of (the) god of Enoch."

Leboon, at the time of his arrest last month, was wanted on an outstanding city warrant for failing to appear in Municipal Court last July on terroristic threats and assault charges.

Canton held a news conference to announce his life had been threatened, following news reports of threats and abusive treatment toward Democratic members of Congress during the debate and vote on healthcare reform legislation.

A bullet had been fired through a window at his campaign office in Richmond but police said they determined the bullet had been fired randomly, he had reported. (With inputs from Agencies)
