Westmoreland County prosecutors will have access to mental health records of a man charged with illegal firearm possession at a Delmont restaurant where he claimed he was defending former president Donald Trump.
The Trib reports that the records for 62-year-old Jan Stawovy of Hunker is charged with multiple firearms counts in connection with an incident last September at the Dairy Queen on Route 66 and a search of his home. According to court records, Stawovy was detained wearing a bright yellow vest and rainbow-colored wig as he entered the restaurant last September with a gun in his hand. Police said Stawovy claimed he was an undercover police officer who was working to return Trump to office and “fighting the shadow fake presidency.” and threatened to shoot Democrats and Liberals. Stawovy, according to court records, was involuntarily committed to a mental health hospital in 2021 and, as a result, was not permitted to possess guns. Prosecutors said they need Stawovy’s mental health records to prove at an upcoming trial that he was disqualified from possessing weapons.
