Guilty pleas in rampage

BOISE (AP) - A southwest Idaho man has pleaded guilty to five crimes committed during a drug-fueled rampage that left two men hospitalized and others injured.

The Idaho Statesman reports in a story on Thursday that 23-year-old Sean D. Carnell agreed to a plea deal last month.

He appeared in 4th District Court on Wednesday concerning a mental health evaluation carried out by the defense that could be a factor in his sentencing, which is scheduled June 6.

Ada County Deputy Prosecutor Shelley Akamatsu asked Judge Richard Greenwood to order the defense to release the psychologist's notes.

Greenwood denied the request but said the prosecution has the right to have its own psychologist interview Carnell. Greenwood gave defense attorney Eric Rolfsen a week to decide if the prosecution doctor can speak with Carnell.

Greenwood said the defense could decline, but it then wouldn't be allowed to introduce evidence from its evaluation.

Carnell has said he was high on a mixture of meth and possibly bath salts at the time of the attacks.

Authorities say that over a two-hour span on Aug. 22 in Meridian, Carnell kicked a dog, punched a teen, beat up a construction worker with a shovel, tipped over a man in a wheelchair, tried to strangle a 36-year-old woman, broke windows in a house and set fire to his apartment.
