UPDATE: Suspected drugging

THE CASE: A waiter at a Ruby Tuesday restaurant on Garden of the Gods Road noticed a man putting a suspicious substance in the drink of a woman he was eating dinner with Jan. 3. The waiter took the drink and called Colorado Springs police, who later determined the substance was Diazepam — a mild tranquilizer prescribed to reduce anxiety and relax muscles.

THE SUSPECT: Robert Lawrence Psaty, 56, was arrested Feb. 14. He was on a date with the woman that night, according to police, whom he had met through a dating service. After his arrest, Psaty was immediately put on leave from his job as a mental health clinician at the Colorado Mental Health Institute in Pueblo.

WHAT’S NEW: Prosecutors on Wednesday filed two felony charges against Psaty: assault by drugging a victim and attempting to have someone induce a controlled substance by fraudulent means. He could face up to six years in prison if convicted of the most serious charge. Psaty pleaded not guilty to the charges.

WHAT’S NEXT: 4th Judicial District Judge Jann DuBois set a trial date for July 28. Psaty, who is free on $3,000 bail, is due back in court for a motions hearing June 13.
