O&#39;Connor ordered Paul E. Mosman held without bond until further notice. <br /><br />He also ordered that the father of seven, including six still living at home, undergo a psychiatric examination. <br /><br />O&#39;Connor set a competency hearing for Mosman at 2 p.m. next Monday. <br /><br />Mosman was charged Wednesday, shortly after the 3-1/2-hour hostage siege ended peacefully, with <strong>assault</strong> with a dangerous weapon and use of a firearm in a crime of violence. <br /><br />At that time, he told U.S. Magistrate John W. Primomo he was taking <strong>medication</strong> for manic <strong>depression</strong> and had short memory losses. <br /><br />Mosman, who was scheduled to be terminated from his job Friday, is accused of threatening the life of his supervisor, Diana Carrauthers, 36, chief of the Troop Issue Subsistence Activity. <br /><br />Mosman was a material handler at the activity&#39;s food-issuance facility, Army officials said. <br /><br />During the 30-minute hearing before O&#39;Connor, FBI Special Agent Frank Montoya testified that, as the event began, Mosman threatened to blow off Carrauthers&#39; head with the two handguns he had. <br /><br />Later during the standoff, Mosman made only two demands, Montoya said. He wanted one or two soft drinks and to surrender to an FBI agent, Montoya said. <br /><br />&quot;Eventually he traded a bullet for those soft drinks,&quot; Montoya testified. <br /><br />Later he surrendered to the Army post&#39;s Special Reactions Team, Montoya said. <br /><br />Carrauthers was not physically hurt during the incident, Montoya said. <br /><br />Montoya was the lone witness in the hearing. <br />Page: 9A<br />Record Number: 131265<br />Copyright 1993, 2002 San Antonio Express-News<br />To bookmark this article, right-click on the link below, and copy the link location:<br /><a href="http://docs.newsbank.com/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004&amp;rft_id=info:sid/iw.newsbank.com:NewsBank:SANB&amp;rft_val_format=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:ctx&amp;rft_dat=0F2231E3B5D48147&amp;svc_dat=InfoWeb:aggregated5&amp;req_dat=0FC00B934DD580D0">Mental exam ordered in siege<br /></a></font></div>
