A Waco man with mental health issues charged with threatening his parents with a knife was released from jail Thursday after he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge and was given credit for the 414 days he has been jailed. Thomas Olsen Pena, 37, pleaded guilty to a Class A misdemeanor charge of repeated violations of a protective order after prosecutors reduced the charge from a third-degree felony and offered Pena 135 days in jail as part of a plea bargain. A Waco psychologist determined Pena should be found not guilty by reason of insanity and hospitalized to treat schizoaffective disorder bipolar type, but the McLennan County District Attorneyâs Office disputed that opinion and said Penaâs fate should be determined by a jury. With the coronavirus shutting down trials since early this year, Pena languished in jail for more than a year before the DAâs office offered him the plea agreement, which essentially would allow him to walk free from jail after his guilty plea to the misdemeanor charge.
