YPSILANTI, Mich. – A 53-year-old man who barricaded himself inside a home with a sword for about 30 hours in January has not yet appeared in court for his initial hearing.
According to court records, the Ypsilanti man is facing eight felony charges stemming from the incident that occurred at a residence in the 1100 block of West Cross Street.
Authorities said the charges include four counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and four counts of resisting and obstructing a police officer.
Police eventually took the man into custody after the lengthy standoff. Despite the charges filed, he has not yet been arraigned in court.
The man’s identity has circulated publicly among advocates, but MLive/The Ann Arbor News has not released his name because he has not yet been formally arraigned.
The case remains pending in court.
