South Lyon Man Sentenced in Road Rage Gun IncidentSouth Lyon Man Sentenced in Road Rage Gun Incident

8/15/14 - There will be no additional jail time for a South Lyon charged in a road rage incident. 51-year-old Aaron Eugene Stein of South Lyon was ordered to serve 18 months of probation on Thursday following his earlier no contest plea to charges of assault with a weapon and possession of marijuana. He was also sentenced to three days in jail, time he has already served. The victim in the case testified during a previous court hearing that she feared for her safety and believed Stein had a gun during the October 16th incident. The victim said she passed him on a local road but that he started honking his horn and tailgating her, eventually passing her about a half mile down the road. Both stopped their vehicles and proceeded to argue, which is when the victim alleged Stein made a comment about her not having a gun and she noticed him holding a dark item in his hand. The defense argued that there was no evidence to indicate there really was a gun involved, but the victim maintained she believed it was and feared Stein would shoot her. Under the plea deal, a charge of brandishing a gun in public was dismissed. The prosecution also agreed not to add an additional charge of felony firearms. (JK)
