Austin Harrouff's attorney said Wednesday there is no evidence that is client was under the influence of bath salts or flakka the night of a deadly double homicide he is charged with committing in Martin County.

Deputies said in August Harrouff killed a Martin County couple, Michelle Karen Mishcon, 53, and her husband John Stevens III, 59, in their garage near Tequesta.   

MCSO says Harrouff also stabbed a neighbor who tried to save the victims.

Harrouff's charges include two counts of second-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder with a weapon.

The Martin County Sheriff’s Office requested the FBI test Harrouff to see if he was impaired during the attack.
