COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Two cases involving a Hillsdale man who has been charged in one case with an alleged assault on a woman last October have been bound over to Branch County Circuit Court.
A District Court preliminary exam was held on Tuesday for 38-year-old Brice Avery Staley who is facing a felony count of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder or by strangulation along with two misdemeanor counts of domestic violence.
He has also been charged with domestic violence and assault in a separate case.
According to court documents, Staley was accused of threatening to kill a woman after they got into an argument while they were in his pickup truck in the area of Lukesport and Briggs Road. Documents also state he allegedly he punched and choked her.
Charges were filed by prosecutors following an investigation by the Branch County Sheriff’s Department.
Staley has entered not guilty pleas. A Circuit Court pre trial conference is scheduled for February 6.
