A disposition hearing was held Monday afternoon in Fourth Judicial District Court in Sheridan for a man who was found not guilty by reason of mental illness or deficiency. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.
At an arraignment hearing on February 10, 2026 in District Court, Tynan Mogen pleaded not guilty by reason of mental illness or deficiency to the charges of felony property destruction and misdemeanor criminal entry. The alleged crimes occurred on September 18, 2025 when Mogen broke into a vehicle and caused over $1,000 in damage to the vehicle. Following the arraignment hearing in February, a criminal responsibility evaluation was conducted by the Wyoming State Hospital. The findings of the evaluation conclude that Mogen was not guilty of the crimes by reason of mental illness or deficiency.
The Court, in May, following the State Hospital’s determination, found Mogen to be not guilty by reason of mental illness or deficiency. At that time, a risk assessment was ordered to be conducted by the State Hospital. That assessment found Mogen to be a low risk and that he did not pose a substantial risk to himself or others. At a disposition hearing Monday, District Court Judge Darci Phillips placed Mogen on one-year unsupervised release with the condition that he remain on his medication and submit compliance reports and updates to the court every six months. Mogen must also engage in individual therapy for his mental illness.
