WASHINGTON (AP) — The man who shot President Ronald Reagan in 1981 has behaved well over the past year when he’s been freed from a Washington mental hospital to visit his mother in Virginia, according to U.S. Secret Service reports.
Agents trailed John Hinckley on more than 35 days during 2012 when he visited his mother’s home in Williamsburg. Surveillance logs show he shopped at PetSmart, Target and the grocery store Harris Teeter.
He also did volunteer work, visited an art museum on the campus of the College of William and Mary and made planned therapy visits. The logs were part of more than a 150 pages of documents filed Wednesday as part of a court case where Hinckley is asking a judge to let him spend more time at his mother’s home.
