Judge: Schrenker found to be competent

His trial date is scheduled for June 8

PENSACOLA, Fla. (WISH/WALA) - A federal judge has ruled troubled Hamilton County financial advisor Marcus Schrenker is competent to stand trial.

The decision was based on an evaluation performed April 17 at a Federal detention center in Miami. The 16 page report has been sealed by Judge Roger Vincent.

Authorities say in January Schrenker put his plane on autopilot, made false distress calls and bailed out of his plane before it crashed in Florida in an effort to fake his own death.

He was found two days later at a campground near Tallahassee.

The financial advisor told Good Morning America earlier this week he's had mental problems since 2007 and was not of sound mind before parachuting from his plane.

Neither the U.S. Attorney or Schrenker's Attorney would comment on the proceeding.

His trial date is scheduled for June 8. Jury Selection will begin that day at 9 a.m.
