11/1/12 - A Genesee County man is due back in court next week after police say he brandished a weapon at a motorist on U.S. 23 in Hartland Township earlier this week. 67-year-old Clarence Leroy Murphy Jr. of Flint is charged with carrying a concealed weapon. A woman says she and her 12-year-old daughter were driving northbound on US-23 early Monday evening when a minivan tried to pass her near Crouse Road. He eventually pulled alongside and waived a handgun while laughing. She was able to get his license plate and pass that along to authorities, who later stopped his vehicle in Flint. A search turned up two handguns and a starter pistol. He was taken into custody after a background check also revealed his concealed pistol license had been suspended. Murphy also is charged in Genesee County for a September 6th incident in which he was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon. An exam conference in the Livingston County case is scheduled for Monday in 53rd District Court. He remains jailed on a $25,000 bond. (JM)
