(Grand Forks, ND) -- The man charged in the death of a Grand Forks Police officer is set to undergo a mental health evaluation. A judge signed an order yesterday sending 42-year-old Salamah Pendleton to the state hospital for the evaluation. Pendleton is set to go to trial at the end of June for the murder of Officer Cody Holte, the attempted murders of Officer Patrick Torok and Deputy Ron Nord, and the murder of his 61-year-old mother Lola Moore. Prosecutors say Pendleton got into a gunfight with officers when they came to evict him from his apartment. Moore was caught in the crossfire.
