Brian Branch Ruled Mentally Competent | Cleveland News

Brian Branch, accused of attempted murder and firing on police during a high-speed chase, has been ruled mentally competent to stand trial after a judge found his mental health claims were likely exaggerated or fabricated. The incident erupted on Memorial Day weekend when Branch allegedly shot at officers during a traffic stop, wounded five cops, and fled at speeds up to 80 mph through Cleveland—earning him the chilling label “mobile active shooter” from police leadership. His October trial looms as he remains jailed with a $1 million bond. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
