A judge granted a defense attorney’s request to have Silberfenig examined. He is due back at the Larson Justice Center in Indio on Dec. 11.
The woman alleged Silberfenig “attacked her without provocation and
stabbed her several times,” said sheriff’s Sgt. Andrew Nielsen, who did not
cite a motive for the stabbing.
Silberfenig remains in custody at tyhe county jail in Indio in lieu of
$1 million bail.
