According to the complaint, Hendricks and Ploetz had gone to dinner with Ploetz’s father Wednesday so Hendricks could see his 8-month-old son.
After dinner, Ploetz’s father was driving when he heard a “pop,” pulled over, heard another “pop” and tried to wrestle the gun away from Hendricks.
Hendricks told police he was hearing voices and “just snapped.” A defense attorney has not been appointed yet.
