The New Jersey man accused of stalking Holocaust scholar Elie Wiesel and dragging him off a hotel elevator- has changed his plea back to not guilty by reason of insanity. Eric Hunt’s lawyer made the new plea to charges of attempted kidnapping, false imprisonment, battery, stalking and elder abuse.

Hunt, 23, of Vernon, N.J., has been jailed in a psychiatric unit since his February arrest. He dropped his original insanity plea and simply pleaded not guilty this summer.

Trial has been scheduled for March.
