[SIZE=-1]"Steroid drugs are known to cause aggression and psychosis," the report said.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]After going through treatment for steroid-induced psychosis, Hodges is now "without psychiatric symptoms" and is ready to go to trial, Grant concluded. [...][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]It all started Nov. 3 when Hodges showed up at the airport with his dog and refused to leave the security screening area.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]"He said he was God and pushed his way into the checkpoint," according to Grant's initial report.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Hodges hit a female agent with the Transportation Security Administration on the shoulder as he passed through, then ignored orders from port Officer Jim Rohman to back off, according to the reports. When warned that he would be shocked with a Taser, Hodges allegedly told Rohman to go ahead because "it would have no effect on him because he was 'God.' "[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The Taser was ineffective when it hit him in the chest.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Court documents say Hodges punched Rohman in the back of the head, then told a Franklin County sheriff's deputy who had drawn his gun to shoot him because again it would have no effect. That's when Hodges broke a security window with his hand and shoulder and walked onto the tarmac just as a Horizon Air flight was getting ready to leave, documents said.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Hodges yelled at the employees to "Open up the damn plane!" He then walked away from the plane and paced until officers ordered him to get on the ground and he complied, documents said.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Once in the jail, Hodges "had periods of relative calm but could escalate unpredictably into episodes of hostility and severe agitation," Grant's report said.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]After a Nov. 7 visit with his father, Hodges allegedly became agitated while walking back to his isolation cell and decided not to go in. He reportedly said he was the "Son of God" and wanted to put the four corrections officers in the cell.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]A struggle ensued and Hodges bit off the tip of Boothe's left ring finger, court documents said. Hodges also punched Officer Lindy Noethe three times in the face, documents said.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Grant concluded that both times it was "a purposeful, goal-directed act, consistent with the capacity for intent."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]On another occasion in the jail, Hodges punched his cell door and broke several bones in his hand, Grant's report said.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]While at Eastern State Hospital in Medical Lake, Hodges had one incident where he was "on the verge of attacking his roommate" and had to be placed in seclusion for a few days, Grant said. [/SIZE][SIZE=-1]...[/SIZE]
