A preliminary trial hearing has been set for a Nevada man accused of attacking and seriously injuring a woman at a Montecito mansion in May.

Russell Maxwell Phay, 43, is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Dec. 9 as he faces charges of attempted murder, assault, kidnapping, residential burglary and other crimes after allegedly violently attacking Linda Malek-Aslanian on May 21 at the home of Ty Warner, a hotelier and Beanie Babies mogul.

Phay, from Henderson, Nevada, appeared in court Monday morning in custody clothing for a preliminary hearing setting and for an arraignment on a new misdemeanor charge from the same day of the break-in that was filed separately.

The charge alleges that Phay was a driver involved in a hit-and-run that caused property damage. Phay pleaded not guilty to the charge.

During the hearing, Kevin Weichbrod, supervising deputy district attorney, said he plans to conduct a conditional examination, which is a pre-trial proceeding where a witness’ testimony is recorded because they may not be available during the trial.

Weichbrod said conditional examinations are done for various reasons, including a witness’ age.

The incident at Warner’s mansion spurred a large law enforcement response and standoff.

The Sheriff’s Office said Phay attacked a woman at the home and then barricaded himself in a bathroom.

The attack caused Malek-Aslanian to become comatose because of a brain injury, according to court records.

Weichbrod could not provide Noozhawk an update on Malek-Aslanian’s status.

Phay is also charged with assault causing great bodily injury to a person identified as E. Jensen in court records.

Phay allegedly tried to escape law enforcement by jumping out a window onto the ground. He was arrested at the Fairway Road home and booked into jail custody.

Phay has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied all allegations.
