As was previously reported on Myhighplains.com, Hunt was arrested in July for allegedly having components of explosives.

A judge granted a request for a psychiatric or psychological exam, according to court documents.

Hunt will be evaluated for over 30 days to see if he suffers from a mental health issue preventing him from understanding what he is accused of or if he suffered a mental health issue at the time of the alleged crime.
