The man accused of a shooting incident on Interstate 80 in Omaha, Nebraska, was held on a bond of $1 million when he appeared in Douglas County court on Wednesday. Charles Stuart faces charges of second-degree assault, using a firearm to commit a felony, and unlawfully discharging a firearm. The court proceedings were delayed for about an hour as deputies struggled to bring the 33-year-old into the courtroom. Stuart was reported to be crying and throwing objects, requiring the intervention of a crisis team to transport him. Eventually, he was restrained, placed on a stretcher, and wheeled into court, where he repeatedly interrupted the judge. Prosecutors revealed that Stuart had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia but was not taking any medication. The shooting incident occurred on Monday near the junction of I-680 southbound and I-80 eastbound. After crashing his truck, Stuart proceeded to remove his clothes and began firing a gun. One passing car was hit by bullets, and the driver, Aaron Traynham, suffered injuries as fragments were removed from his cheek and glass was extracted from his eye, causing damage to his retina. Stuart is scheduled to appear in court again on September 18.
