Scibilia is charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, criminal threats, second-degree burglary and disobeying a protective order. His occupation is listed as mechanic in the jail booking log.

Judge Geoffrey Howard made the incompetence finding after receiving a mental health evaluation. A followup hearing is set for Jan. 7.

Scibilia’s public defender, Hayden Brown, declined to comment Monday.

The criminal complaint by the Marin County District’s Office says Scibilia was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon in San Diego County in 2016.
