Orlando Brown is headed to trial soon but first, he’ll be getting a mental evaluation to see if he’s fit to cooperate in court.
According to legal docs obtained by @tmz_tv, the former actor’s attorney made the request for him to get evaluated. As it was previously reported, Orlando has been charged with aggravated menacing, a first-degree misdemeanor in Ohio, for his December arrest. He pled not guilty, however, the results of the evaluation could lead to Orlando changing that plea.
Orlando was arrested back in December after cops in Ohio responded to a call about a fight between two men. At the time, the alleged victim told officers that Orlando charged at him while wielding a knife blade and hammer during an argument. Orlando was never able to physically strike him with the weapons and eventually set them down. When cops arrived, they came upon the former Disney star and arrested him for misdemeanor domestic violence.

It was noted that Orlando was living under the same roof as the alleged victim, who was trying to help the entertainer get back on his feet and restart his career. He even tried to hook him up with a movie role but lost the opportunity as a result of the alleged incident.
Orlando is currently on house arrest after being released from custody on Friday. He was able to post a bond of about $25,000, per outlet.
