5/10/13 - After police say he assaulted and choked a woman, a Tyrone Township man has been bound over for trial. 40-year-old Anthony Patrick Lafond is facing one count each of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, domestic violence, and malicious destruction of police or fire property. He was bound over for trial to Livingston County Circuit Court on Thursday and a request to lower his $100,000 bond was denied. He is scheduled for a pretrial exam on June 14th, and if no plea deal is reached he will go to trial on July 22nd. Court records indicate Lafond was described as âvery intoxicatedâ during the incident on April 25th, and police claim he kicked the victim in the face before choking her. The victim is a woman who did not live with Lafond. The legal definition of âgreat bodily harmâ was recently amended to specifically include the act of choking. (JK)
