richard penny appeared in two courts today, here at stratford superior court hoping a judge would dismiss those charges, which he did, and then he appeared in rochester circuit court to face two new stalking charges. the county attorney and police admitting that they're trying to slow this process so they can figure out whether penny poses a danger to himself or the community. 38-year-old richard penny was accused of stealing his brother's guns, threatening and holding another woman hostage, and engaging in a standoff with police in january of 2013. then he was found incompetent to stand trial. he was in superior court on tuesday, asking to have charges dismissed. because of a law that says if he is not deemed competent within 12 months the charges have to be flown out. the judge agreed. the issue with authorities is they aren't confident that it's safe for him or the community if he's freed. >> we deem him at the time significant danger to the public and we have no information one way or another to show whether that dangerousness has changed. reporter: by law they don't have access to me
