7/26/14 - A plea deal has been rejected by a father and son from Hamburg Township who police say chased and assaulted another man in a road rage incident. 28-year-old Nathan Marcum (pictured) and his father, 52-year-old Daniel Marcum, both turned down plea deals from prosecutors on Monday. They are now both scheduled for jury pick on August 29th. Both face charges of aggravated assault, while the son also faces one count of reckless driving. The charges stem from an incident June 28th that began in the vicinity of westbound Grand River and Latson Road in Genoa Township. Witnesses reported seeing a pick-up truck traveling at high speeds, weaving in and out of traffic. Police say a 56-year-old Howell man tried to get away and ran a red light before pulling into the parking lot of a business near Grand Oaks Drive. The Marcums are alleged to have cut across Grand River, exited their vehicle, and proceeded to assault the victim. They fled a short time later after being advised that police were coming. Witnesses were able to get a license plate number along with descriptions of the suspects and their vehicle, which led police to the Marcums. (TD)
