Thompson is charged, along with his wife, sheriff’s deputy Chauna Thompson, 45, in the crime. Thompson had “previously been under the care of a psychiatrist and demonstrated problems controlling his anger and temper,” records show.

In addition, the couple was embroiled in a contentious custody dispute prior to their marriage in 2000.

The Thompsons were indicted last week on charges of murder, accused of intentionally killing John Hernandez, 24, while pinning him down in a chokehold.
