5/11/14 - No further jail time has been handed down for a Brighton man charged with assault and unlawful imprisonment. 46-year-old Daniel Robert Phillips pleaded guilty to unlawful imprisonment in March, and in exchange one charge of assault with a deadly weapon plus two charges of felony firearms were dropped. He was sentenced Thursday to the two days in jail he has already served plus two years of probation. The charges stem from an incident in August of 2013 involving a woman that police say Phillips assaulted at a residence on Kensington Road in Brighton Township. She said he confronted her about money he believed she owed him. Thatâs when she says he threatened her with a gun and tied her to a chair, then later released her. Under cross-examination, the woman admitted that Phillips had given her money for pills and that her failure to deliver them was the reason for Phillips actions. If convicted on the original charges, he could have faced up to 15 years in prison. (JK)
