PENSACOLA, Fla. (Indiana's NewsCenter) --- The Indiana businessman, accused of trying to fake his death with a plane crash, is claiming mental problems.

A public defender says 38-year-old Marcus Schrenker is not mentally competent to go on trial, and is requesting a mental evaluation.

Schrenker parachuted out of his plane and let it crash in Florida earlier this month in what authorities say was an attempt to fake his death and escape his financial problems.
