Cody Benjamin Whitney competent to stand trial, following a forensic psychiatric evaluation.

Whitney, who faced a probation violation for a new 'disturbing the peace' charge while out on bond, entered a no-contest plea today. This move allows him to preserve his Fifth Amendment rights regarding the pending criminal case.

The judge opted for rehabilitation over punishment, imposing no sanctions. Instead, Whitney's bond was modified, mandating adherence to his HBH treatment plan, prescribed medications, and respectful conduct towards caregivers and court personnel.

Pre-trial services will oversee his compliance, with the court emphasizing that Whitney's adherence is key to avoiding further legal issues.
