Justin Dean Bridwell, a Huntington man charged with first-degree robbery, has been deemed competent to assist in his defense after mental health treatment. Key facts: He was arrested in February 2025 for an alleged robbery near Durkee.

A psychologist initially found him unfit, but treatment restored his competency. He faces a mandatory minimum of 7.5 years if convicted.
