In 2019, he was charged with assaulting a police officer and attempted threats to do bodily harm. He allegedly made intimidating statements to a civilian and resisted arrest.

In a different 2019 case, he was charged with simple assault for striking a restaurant manager. Then, in 2020, he failed to appear for his court hearing and was charged with a bail violation again.

Kidne was released on personal recognizance on Oct. 21, 2019. He violated the conditions of his release on Jan. 16.

On Jan. 21, Kidne underwent a mental competency screening. He was found incompetent by the Department of Behavioral Health and ordered to complete a full competency exam at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, DC’s psychiatric institution.
