He was late, but Blake Cody Lund, 37, did show up for court on Thursday on charges that he attacked a police robot with a knife on Nov. 16 and resisted arrest after being tasered and finally subdued by up to six police officers.

Lund had refused to leave his jail cell Wednesday to appear for a hearing before Judge Doug Mattson and Mattson said he would have to appear for a hearing on Thursday. However, when the 9:15 a.m. time for the hearing passed, a correctional officer told Mattson that Lund had again refused to appear for court. Lund’s defense attorney, Timothy Wilhelm, told Mattson that Lund had also previously refused to meet in person with Wilhelm.

Mattson noted that the bail bond company had revoked and exonerated its bond on Feb. 27. Mattson told Wilhelm that he was also revoking the $25,000 bond he had set in the Nov. 16 case and Lund will now have no bond in that case because of his refusal to appear for court and because he has been charged with other crimes since he was released on bond. Mattson also said Lund has been wasting valuable time, that the court schedule is packed and the North Central District Court has been short of judges since 2010. He said Lund might have to wait as long as five more weeks for another bond hearing before Mattson if he chose not to appear before Mattson Thursday or Friday. Mattson did tell Wilhelm he might reconsider his position if Lund has been refusing to make court appearances due to a health issue, but no one has told him that is the case.

About fifteen minutes later, a correctional officer escorted a sullen looking Lund into the courtroom for the hearing. Lund silently sat at the defense table with Wilhelm while Mattson informed him that he now has no bond and the attorneys discussed a trial date. Wilhelm will no longer be his attorney after Wilhelm’s contract is up with the public defenders office, so a new public defender will be assigned. Kalli Hoffmann said she will likely be assigned to represent Lund and asked for a July trial date, as she said it would be difficult to prepare for a trial in June when she has other scheduling conflicts. Mattson’s schedule is also packed with upcoming trials and other obligations.

On Nov. 16, Lund allegedly barricaded himself inside his residence and refused to come out and Minot police sent in a SWAT team and the bomb squad. They obtained a search warrant for Lund’s residence and sent a robot into his house to try and locate Lund. Police say that Lund attacked the police robot with a knife and pushed it down a flight of stairs, causing about $10,000 in damage to the robot. Hours later, police employed taser cartridges on Lund. It took up to six officers to get control of Lund, according to the probable cause affidavit filed with the court. Lund is charged with criminal mischief, a Class C felony, and resisting arrest, a Class A misdemeanor, in that case.

“It’s a search warrant case,” Wilhelm told Mattson on Thursday, indicating that the defense plans to challenge the validity of the search warrant.

Police had initially been called to Lund’s neighborhood after they received a report that someone was outside yelling. They knew Lund had outstanding warrants.

Mattson set July 16 as the trial date for the case.

Lund is also facing multiple other felony and misdemeanor charges, including burglary and terrorizing in two separate September incidents, before other judges in both district court and in Minot Municipal Court.
