4/3/13 - Charges filed against a Genesee County man who police say brandished a weapon at a motorist while driving on US-23 last year in Hartland Township are expected to be amended locally. 67-year-old Clarence Leroy Murphy Jr. of Flint was charged with two counts of carrying a concealed weapon for an incident last fall in Hartland Township. A driver told police she and her 12-year-old daughter were driving northbound on US-23 last October 29th when a minivan driven by Murphy tried to pass her near Crouse Road, then pulled alongside at which point he waived a handgun while laughing. 53rd District Court records show attorneys obtained information from the Genesee County Gun Board, and prosecutors advised the court that the charges against Murphy will be amended to one count of felonious assault. An exam was requested, which was scheduled for April 23rd. Meanwhile, Murphy is set to appear for a pre-trial hearing in Genesee County today for a separate incident on September 6th in which he was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon in Flint Township.
