Hunter charged with felonious assault in Argentine Township
December 1, 2010
Lawrence William Frasier was charged with one count of felonious assault, stemming from a hunting incident in Argentine Township on Tuesday, Nov. 16. Frasier, 68, of Burton, was to be in Genesee County’s 67th District Court on Tuesday for his preliminary hearing; however, he did not show up as required.
As a result, a bench warrant for his arrest was authorized.
Argentine Township Police Chief Dan Allen said he and police officer Theresa Walters responded to a call in the 14000 block of Bird Road at 11 a.m. on Nov. 16.
Frasier was hunting on the Bird Road property, without the permission of the owner, according to what the owner reported to police. When the owner and his friend asked Frasier to leave the property, Frasier allegedly pointed his rifle at them and made threats.
Police took Frasier into custody and lodged him at the county jail until his arraignment on Nov. 19. Following his arraignment, Frasier has been out on personal bond. .
