10/16/12 - A Brighton man charged with home invasion after an incident last month at a Brighton apartment complex has been found incompetent to stand trial. The attorney for 28-year-old Nicholas Sloan successfully petitioned to have his client evaluated at the stateâs Center for Forensic Psychiatry in August. Sloan was charged after Brighton Police say on July 24th he forced his way into the former apartment of a man he suspected of having relations with his ex-girlfriend. However, the man he was looking for had moved out several weeks before. Sloan is alleged to have kicked down the door of the unit at the Brighton Glen complex at around 3am, charged at a male occupant and began throwing punches. The manâs fiancé grabbed her 4-year-old son, ran to a closet, and called 911. Police quickly arrested Sloan, who was on rollerblades, down the street from the apartment complex. Having been found incompetent to stand trial Sloan has been referred to a forensic center, which will perform an evaluation of criminal responsibility and provide the court with a report within 60 days.
