MOORHEAD, Minn. (AP) A 33-year-old man won't face prison time after being found not guilty by reason of insanity for stabbing a Montana trucker at a Moorhead rest stop.

Harmit Bhangu (ban-GOO') will instead be deported after he's sentenced to jail time already served on a separate assault charge.

He'll go to either Canada, where he'd been working, or to his native country of India.

Clay County Attorney Brian Melton did not oppose a doctor's determination that Bhangu didn't know what he was doing last Jan.

11 when he stabbed Dale Morigeau (MOHR'-uh-joh), a truck driver from Ronan, Mont. Morigeau survived the attack.

Psychologists testified in April that Bhangu believed he heard God order him to kill Morigeau.
