Syllabus

The trial court did not err in overruling appellant's motions to dismiss for speedy trial violations where 1) accounting for tolling events, the first trial began within 90 days of his arrest and 2) the second trial occurred within a reasonable time after a mistrial was declared in the first trial. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in declaring a mistrial after the jury was sworn when appellant decided to proceed pro se, requested new standby counsel, and was unprepared to go forward without a continuance. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in ordering a competency evaluation after appellant requested a competency hearing. The trial court did not commit plain error when it admitted two 911 phone calls at trial. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in limiting appellant's ability to cross-examine the victim about any prior arrests or \run-ins\ with police. Appellant's conviction for felonious assault was supported by sufficient evidence. The trial court properly informed appellant of the Reagan Tokes requirements at the sentencing hearing the notifications were not also required in the sentencing entry. Judgment affirmed.
