Uh he has three minor children, two three of which he takes care of, two that currently live with him. Um your honor, he is a Lancing resident. He has local ties to the community. His mother lives here. His children live here. Um this Mr. Clark has a presumption of innocence. I have no information regarding the two factors. The court looks at flight risk and public safety.

[00:20:00]I understand the court may be concerned about public safety. Keeping in mind this is an individualized allegation.

[00:20:05]Thank you.

[00:20:22]I'll set the bond at 500 personal recognizance with GPS cutter.

And if the assault was committed in a place of confinement, the court may order the sentence to run consecutively to any sentence the defendant was serving or to the sentence uh for which the defendant was being detained. Do you understand the charge and the maximum penalty?

[00:25:55]>> Yes, your honor.

[00:25:58]You have the right to counsel. Mr. Anette is going to represent you today to be arraigned. He is noting that you're making a request for the public defender to represent you and you have the right to have an attorney represent you. Uh if you're questioned by law enforcement and at all of your future court dates uh and if you can't afford one, one can be appointed at the expense of the public. The court will enter a not guilty plea at this time on your behalf, but you do have the right to remain silent. Anything that you say, anything you put in writing can be used against you. You have the right to plead guilty, plead not guilty or stand mute.

[00:26:34]Uh if you stand, the matter will continue all the way to jury trial. Uh you are presumed innocent until proven guilty and you have the right to maintain your innocence and require that the prosecution take this matter to court for jury trial and that they prove at that time they prove at the time of jury trial each element of the charge of domestic violence beyond a reasonable doubt. You have the right to be silent at any trial and they can't use that silence against you. Uh, you can wave silence and take the stand and testify if you'd like. You have the right to confront and question in court any witness called to testify against you and the right to present evidence that you believe shows a defense to the charges being brought against you and the right to have witnesses subpoenaed to testify on your behalf. Do you have any questions about those rights?

[00:27:24]>> No, your honor.

[00:27:39]Are you currently on probation or on parole?

[00:27:43]>> No, your honor. Do >> you have any other criminal matters pending?

[00:27:47]>> No, your honor.

[00:27:50]>> Are you employed?

[00:27:52]>> Yes, your honor.

[00:27:54]>> Is that city of Lancing public safety?

[00:28:18]What's your phone number?

[00:28:21]734 area code 819 7848.

[00:28:29]>> We're currently scheduled for pre-trial conference before me on June 23rd at 8:30. Did you get a notice to appear?

[00:29:23][ __ ] essent.

[00:30:40]>> Thank you, your honor. I would ask the court to consider a PR bond in this matter for not a PR bond, a reasonable bond. Mr. Glenn is uh gainfully employed at the city of Lancing for public safety. Um, yes. Task company lives in the area. Your honor, he has one minor child that he supports. This is a mere allegation. Mr. Glenn has a presumption of innocence on. Um, I have no information regarding public safety. I do not believe that would be of concern.

[00:31:03]I believe the only concern here um would be public uh sorry, not flight. It would not be public. Oh, boy. I'm sorry. It would not be flight risk. It would be public safety. Honor, keeping in mind, Mr. Glenn has a presumption of distance.

[00:31:16]This is a mere allegation. given the considerations of the ties to the community, the employment and the the child um I would escort for that bond your honor. Thank you.

[00:31:34]>> Mr. Glenn has a pretty extensive criminal history. I'm actually surprised he works with the city. I'm not going to lie there. That's very clear. the most recent charge having been almost to date a year ago.

[00:31:53]Uh he was charged with felonious assault with intent to do greatly harm less than murder or by strangulation and domestic violence and a felony habitual offender of force offense notice. Uh which was dismissed.

[00:32:09]But that does uh not mean it was dismissed because uh there was a lack of evidence. More likely and commonly I should say things of that nature are dismissed because the victim does not appear in court. So I don't even know if that's the same victim or not, but it was uh definitely a charge that uh was from last year.

[00:32:49]And the aid affidavit of probable cause alleges that the victim of this particular case has been in a relationship with him for over three years. So it's reasonable to believe it's the same victim.

[00:33:04]So I do believe that there is a threat to the safety of the victim. A bond in this matter is set in the amount at 500 cash shorty with GPS tether.

[00:33:21]>> Thank you.

[00:33:23]I have the I'm not finished with the conditions first.

[00:33:32]While out on bond, you have the following conditions, Mr. Glenn. You must appear follow your future court dates. You're not to leave the state of Michigan without permission of the court. Uh you're not to commit any crimes while out on bond. You must notify this court of any change of your address or telephone number. Which reminds me, I don't know if I got your address, but where you where you living?

[00:34:01]>> 615 East Sheridan Road, Lanson, Michigan.

[00:34:13]Again, you must notify the court in a writing of any changes to your phone number or address. You're not to use or possess alcohol, marijuana, or illegal controlled substance.

[00:34:34]You're not to possess or purchase a firearm or any other dangerous weapon.

[00:34:39]You're not to harass, assault, intimidate, beat, wound, molest, or threaten Zakyra or Zakira Anthony.

[00:34:47]You're not to have contact directly or indirectly. Uh, so that's not you speaking to her or having a third party speak to her. You're prohibited from doing that under this order. Do you understand that?

[00:34:58]>> Yes, your honor.

[00:35:00]>> Uh, you're not to enter the address of 20008 Georgetown Boulevard. Uh, and again, we'll have GPS tethered with victim notification.

[00:35:11]>> Oh, with that being said, your honor, like I don't have my uh I don't have my phone on me. So, I don't know if I was to get bonded out. I don't know how I u could go get my car cuz I don't have no phone to call nobody even to get bonded out. My phone is in my car and it's still in the parking lot out there.

[00:35:35]I don't know what you mean out where >> I was in Georgetown. So that's I can't call I can't make no phone call even to get bonded out. I can't make a phone call cuz I have my phone is not in my property up there up front. It's still in my car.

[00:35:52]>> Okay. The jail can assist you with that.

[00:35:55]>> Yeah, that's what I was going to ask if I can get the jail to assist me to go pick my vehicle up. I don't know if they can assist you picking up a vehicle, but they can assist you in a phone call.

[00:36:06]>> I don't have no numbers. That's what I'm saying. I don't know nobody number to call. My phone is in my car.

[00:36:12]>> The jail can't bond you out and take you to your car. They don't have that option.

[00:36:18]>> I ain't asked them to do both. I asked for at least one cuz I don't have my my cellular phone to make a call to get bonded out. So they can't do they can't neither bond you out nor can they take you to your car nor can you even get to your car unless a bond is posted.

[00:36:35]>> That's what I was trying to get to you.

[00:36:37]Like I can't even post by without no number. I don't I don't have no number to call.

[00:36:42]>> Yeah. This when people got cell phones they they thought that they didn't have to use your brains to remember numbers.

[00:36:47]Back in the days we remembered everybody's number especially our important ones.

[00:36:52]So I don't know what to tell you. So, you're going to have to figure something out cuz I don't cuz the jail can't do it for you.

[00:36:58]>> Oh, I didn't say that. I didn't say >> Okay. Um, >> let's see here. You You let me I will go ahead and amend his bond to personal recgnissance.

[00:37:16]My concern is mostly GPS tether. Um, >> thank you. appreciate that.

[00:37:23]>> You'll get a tether before you release are released from jail.

[00:37:27]>> I appreciate that. Thank you.

[00:37:30]>> Okay. Uh let's see here.

[00:37:35]Lastly, one of your bond conditions prohibits you from carrying or possessing uh a firearm while your case is pending or even purchasing one. So, you're required to surrender any firearms or a CPL if you have one. This includes firearms located at your residence or any other location accessible to you.

[00:37:58]This is not optional. Uh you must file a verification form with the court within two business days stating either you do not possess any firearms or you that you have surrendered all firearms. If you need to surrender firearms, you must contact the firearms relinquishing unit at the district court for steps on how to safely and lawfully surrender any firearms. And you will be given information about how to contact the firearms relinquishment unit and verification form once you're released from custody. Uh, this bond condition does not give you permission to return to the area of the no contact order to retrieve any firearms for the purposes of relinquishment. And failure to comply with any condition of your pre-trial release is considered contempt of court and may result in bond revocation as well as of jail time. Do you understand that?

[00:38:51]>> Do you have any questions at this time?

[00:38:56]uh notebook cut uh with that PR. Can I still get the uh police assistance to my vehicle, please?

[00:39:03]>> You got to ask the police that. I don't have any control over that. If they want to give you assistance, that's up to them.

Mr. Edunds uh has been employed for to minor information employed for about a month uh with a deck business with some individual currently lives with a stepm and has one minor child that he supports. Uh Mr. Edmonds is a young individual. I believe he's 18 right now. Um based on the information he provided to me uh this morning, without asking, I believe he has a valid defense of self-defense based on what he explained to me this morning. I believe this is a provoked attack by the complaining witness and just wrong place wrong time kind of situation here of course throughout the course of the pendency of this case uh we will find out what actually happened given the considerations the task community the child employment uh living with a stepmom your honor I'd ask court for a PR bond not PR bond a reasonable bond thank you >> well PR would not be reasonable because uh Mr. admins a it's already on bond before another court and so that would create a presumption that it's not reasonable that he would get a PR bond.

[00:48:28]On top of that, um Mr. Edmonds is not employed because he doesn't even know the name of his job, his employer. He he's not employed. Um the other thing is the allegations are that he was inside of someone's home he had no business in.

[00:48:44]um and there was a report of a home invasion and that he refused to leave and that a um Uber was called to pick him up and that when the Uber refused to let him in because per pro procedure your name didn't match the person who dispatched the Uber that he allegedly assaulted the Uber driver and punched the Uber driver uh approximately 10 times.

[00:49:15]Um, if true, uh, Mr. Edmonds is a threat to the entire community. He's going to be remanded on the felony case that's pending before, uh, Judge Stokes. And on the case before me, his bond is set in the amount at 2,000 cash short with GPS Tether.

[00:49:45]Uh, he's not to be out the house between the hours of 6:00 p.m.

[01:04:53]>> Okay. Just so for your information, while this case is pending, you will not be allowed to be at the 1220 North High Street. You understand that, right?

[01:05:02]>> Yes, your honor.

[01:05:15]And also um this one is able to get that's my business one. This is my personal is 3137 397022.

[01:05:58]Your honor, I have a question.

[01:06:00]>> Absolutely. What's the question?

[01:06:02]>> Um, okay. So, this incident is between my neighbors. Well, well, let me stop you because I don't want you to say anything that could be used against you.

[01:06:13]You have to ask your >> I'm not I'm not going to say I just want to as far as like the parameters of the >> um the incident didn't happen at my house. It happened at my neighbor's house and we already have like a a a PO no talking type of deal with the police.

[01:06:30]That's why I don't understand how this happened in the first place. But um >> there's a PO between you and this alleged victim Holly Wester.

[01:06:40]>> They are not her or Adam Blakeley is not supposed to come on me or Malia to Junior's property and I'm not supposed to go on theirs and this this whole incident started because they came on our property. So I'm trying to figure out am I not allowed to go home which is 1220 North High or am I just not supposed to go to their address which is 1224 North High?

[01:07:01]>> Okay. So that's is this apartment complex?

[01:07:05]>> No, these are uh two different houses.

[01:07:07]We have a driveway and some little land in between us. And then there's our driveway. Like I can like Am I allowed to go home?

[01:07:14]>> Share. It's a shared driveway.

[01:07:17]>> No, ma'am. We have a strip of uh land, a little piece of, you know, land in between it. Some grass.

[01:07:26]But it sounds like you are uh within 100 ft of each other.

[01:07:33]>> Yes. Yeah.

[01:07:36]>> Uh no, you can't go there because that's a pro that that's how you got in this situation. Uh so while this case is pending, it's in your best interest not just for the protection of the alleged victim for you not to be there because it really could spiral. There could be more allegations. And if we're in a situation where someone is, let's hypothesize that this is a completely uh madeup fabricated situation. What's to prevent them making up more allegations against you next time they see you there?

[01:08:12]>> I just I don't know. I believe in the uh technology. I record everything. That's why I don't even know why I'm standing here right now because I recorded this whole incident. But um >> I I I I understand that and you should leave that to your attorney to flush that information out. It sounds like you have another place where you can be while this case is pending.

[01:08:31]>> Only thing is, your honor, my daughter was just born yesterday. Um and she's going to be at the 1220 North High Street. And this is the daughter that I almost missed.

[01:08:42]>> You you had a new a new baby yesterday while this incident was allegedly occurring.

[01:08:48]>> Yes. That's why I'm saying this is is crazy. If I told you what really happened and showed you the video, you >> do not you don't you hey, you can't tell me. You don't need to tell me. I'm not even the judge that's presiding over your case. So, you need to tell your attorney so that your attorney can formulate your defense. Okay.

[01:09:15]So you're saying even with my daughter being born yesterday, there's no one there's no contact with 1220 North High, right?

[01:09:22]>> Okay. So So your daughter was born yesterday and so they're currently at the hospital.

[01:09:27]>> Uh she's supposed to come home with her mother this morning. That's why I was there this morning trying to get everything taken care of so they can come home and have a peaceful welcoming.

[01:09:35]But our neighbors kind of ruined that.

[01:09:43]>> Let's see. I gave you an export date already. Give me just a moment. I was reviewing your history.

[01:09:50]>> Yes, ma'am.

[01:10:02]>> Thank you. All right, escort consider a PR bond on this matter. Mr. Anderson is gainfully employed, having three, maybe four part-time jobs and looking into acquiring more. Uh, he just had a baby born yesterday. He has five minor children, four that uh that live with him. Well, actually, they all live on the Penguin where he lives at at the time. Uh, he has a fiance, so he is engaged, your honor. Uh, it's my understand from based on my conversation with conversation with him. He lived in Lancing for over 12 years. Um, yeah, I believe these are false, Mr. Anderson believes these are false accusations.

[01:10:38]And during the course of the proceedings, he will show the court that given the fact this this is one individual uh not the public as a whole, I would factor that in with considering the two factors in public safety. Honor, I don't believe Mr. Anderson is a flight risk based on the information I provided today and his promise to come to court.

[01:10:56]Thank you, honor.

[01:10:58]Your honor, may I add one thing, please?

[01:11:01]>> Yes.

[01:11:03]>> Also, your honor, um, I was just arrested in April for You didn't have to tell me that. I can see it.

[01:11:10]>> Okay. So, I allegedly >> I was going to bring that up. I was definitely going to bring that up because I was going to ask your attorney, was he aware that you were charged with domestic violence in about a month, exactly a month ago? uh it was dismissed and then that there was another one um it looks like there was another charge not not an assaultive one uh in February of this year uh but then February of last year you was also charged with domestic violence and then you were charged with domestic violence in 2023 um in 2022 in 2019 2019 again assault and battery in 2020.

[01:11:58]Do Should I go on?

[01:12:00]>> No. Do you want me to start? I was where I was about to say.

[01:12:03]>> No, I just What did you want to What did you want to share in reference to that?

[01:12:07]>> Yeah. Um, basically this with this alleged victim, Coley.

[01:12:12]>> Mr. Anderson, let's just get the bond out of it's it's not worth it. Let's just keep going. Don't say anything, please.

[01:12:19]>> Okay. All right.

[01:12:21]>> Yeah. Um, it's really Mr. Mr. Anderson, I mean, congratulations to you on your fifth child. Um, but all of these allegations of domestic violence are concerning.

[01:12:34]>> Yeah, those most of those are >> also No, all of them. All of them are concerning. All of them are concerning.

[01:12:41]All of them are concerning. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Everyone's not just lying on you every time that you are being assaulted. And so it's very concerning that every year almost you've been charged with a violent offense. Um and then in this particular case, the allegations uh were that it happened early this morning that the officers were dispatched to a lararseny were reference to some items being delivered or some packages um that were that allegedly the neighbor was supposed to be holding and that allegedly your baby's mother at that address doesn't want you there anymore. on that there is a that that that that there's a process of getting you evicted allegedly. That's all that's that was what was pled in the affidavit of probable cause. So again, as I indicated before, you're not to be at the address of 1220 North High Street while this case is pending. Do you understand that?

[01:13:46]Yes, your honor. Am I allowed to still do my charity work at Crystal Ray at 1717 North High Street? Your honor.

[01:13:59]What's that about 500 feet away? Maybe I I'll go typically we go 2,000. I'll go and say that not to be within 500 ft of the alleged victim. Do you understand that?

[01:14:18]>> Your honor.

[01:14:20]>> Okay. So, with that being said, um it doesn't just mean that 500 feet doesn't just mean on High Street. That's like anywhere.

[01:14:29]>> That's your 500 ft of wherever she is.

[01:14:33]Okay.

[01:14:34]>> Understood.

[01:14:35]>> Okay. Also, while you're out on bond, you have the other following conditions.

[01:14:40]I am going to give a personal recgnissance bond, but it is with uh no contact order. And of course, you're not to be within 500 ft of where that victim lives or work or goes to school or does any business. You're not to leave the state without prior approval of the court. You're not to commit any crime while released out on bond. Uh you must notify the court in writing if you have any changes to your address or telephone number.

You're not to assault, harass, intimidate, beat, molest, wound, or threaten the alleged victim in this matter. Nor are you to have contact directly or indirectly with her. Do you understand that?

[01:15:30]>> Yes, ma'am.

[01:16:08]Okay. Any additional questions that you have at this time?

[01:16:11]>> I just wanted to make sure I can still go to Crystal Ray even if I got to go the back way down Lake Glass to do my work there. Your honor, >> you you can go to Crystal Way Ray because that should uh my 500 ft order should allow you to do that. Okay.

[01:16:27]>> Thank you, your honor. I appreciate it so much.

[01:16:45]>> Same to you.

[01:16:47]>> Thank you.

[01:16:57]Okay, this is the last one.

[01:17:14]>> Okay. State of Michigan versus Tyler Tessman 25-02925 appearance please. Thank you. Georgette APD on behalf of Mr. Tasman for purposes arraignment only today. He did conduct an intent with the public defender's office. We're going to be entering a plea of not guilty. I believe this is a probation violation and entering um asking for a court date.

[01:17:36]>> Okay. And you are Tyler Tessman.

[01:17:39]>> Yes, ma'am.

[01:17:43]>> Okay. Well, it looks like you failed to appear before Judge Buchanan back in March for your probation violation arraignment.

[01:17:51]I never received any notice in the mail.

[01:17:55]>> Oh, got it. I can understand that because sometimes the mail does get jacked up only that you're supposed to be on probation and you would be reporting monthly. So, that's not a an excuse, >> right? I just I I had not received anything and then the next thing I know, I got an email from my probation officer telling me that I missed the court date.

[01:18:13]I was like, I had no idea that the court date was even there. I never received the notice in the mail.

[01:18:17]>> Oh, you said that? You said that to your probation officer? Yes, I told I told my probation officer that I never received anything. His name is Joe something.

[01:18:26]>> Oh, okay. So, when was the next time you reported?

[01:18:30]>> I should have since then because I >> Oh, got it. Bingo.

[01:18:35]>> Bingo. Apologize.

[01:18:36]>> The allegations are that perhap your analysis tested positive for cocaine back on March 3rd, 2026.

[01:18:45]uh you were made aware that you had a probation violation and even if you did not have uh your male your probation officer got in contact with you and you still failed to address the probation violation. Uh so you'll be remanded so that you can make sure this gets addressed. That way we don't have to deal with mail no more.

[01:19:07]>> Right. Absolutely. I understand. So you'll see uh Judge Buchanan after they set this for a hearing. We'll enter a not-uilty plea for the violation at this time. Note that you're requesting a public defender uh and this matter will be set for hearing before Judge Buchanan.

[01:19:24]>> Do we know when?

[01:19:26]>> Oh, no. I don't know when.

[01:19:28]>> Okay, that's fair enough. I understand.

[01:19:30]>> Okay. Any additional matters for the record?

[01:19:33]>> No, your honor.

[01:19:34]>> You're all set, sir.

[01:19:37]>> Thank you. You have a great day.

[01:19:39]You too. I think that's all we have.

[01:19:43]>> That's it, your honor. Um, and then G Bruce Gant will be tomorrow for the magistrate.

[01:19:51]>> I suppose he's remanded. You're not going to go back and forth with me. I don't have time for it. I'm already here on a Sunday. This is the Lord's day. I should be in the church worshiping. But no, I'm here trying to give everybody an opportunity to be uh released from jail expeditiously. But if you think I'm about to put up with an attitude that costs extra >> and I don't get I don't get an extra penny to be here on a Sunday. So with that being said, we'll be he'll be remanded if he's uh cooperative with the magistrate. I'm sure she'll be happy to oblige it, but she too is not paid to take abuse. So if he gives her problems, then she won't take them either.

[01:20:33]>> Understood. Understood. All right.

[01:20:35]Sounds good. Thank you. I appreciate it.

[01:20:37]>> You have a blessed rest of your day.

[01:20:39]>> You too. Thank you.

[01:20:40]>> Thank you.
