Second competency evaluation ordered for Osceola man charged in officer-involved shooting
HASTINGS, Neb. — An Osceola man charged in an officer-involved shooting in Hastings last year will have a second evaluation done to determine if he is competent to stand trial.
Anthony Mattison, 34, faces charges in Adams County District Court of attempted second-degree murder, attempted first-degree assault on an officer, terroristic threats, use of a firearm to commit a felony, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and possession of a controlled substance (meth). He has pleaded not guilty.

The charges stem from an incident last September involving a shooting in which two Hastings Police officers fired their weapons.
On Monday, Adams County District Court Judge Terri Harder granted a motion filed by prosecutors to have Anthony Mattison undergo a second evaluation to determine whether he is competent to stand trial.
An evaluation is to be conducted on Feb. 24 at the Nebraska Department of Correction’s Reception and Treatment Center.
Last November, Adams County District Court Judge Morgan Farquhar ordered the first competency evaluation be conducted. Court records do not indicate what the findings of this first evaluation were or if any decisions were made based on it.
