The King County Prosecutor’s Office has postponed the Jan. 22 arraignment of the man accused of assaulting a comedian in Renton so that the suspect can undergo a mental health evaluation.

Steven Joseph Baldwin, 48, was charged with first-degree assault in the beating of Dylan Avila-Petitt, a local comedian, on Jan. 5 at the Local 907 pub.

After undergoing brain surgery for two skull fractures and a split left ear, Avila-Petitt is expected to make a full recovery.

A competency hearing is now scheduled for February 11 at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. Baldwin remains in custody on $250,000 bail.

The evaluation will take place in the King County Jail.
