Mount Clemens, MI - Today, the Preliminary Exam for Roseville resident Gary Young was adjourned by the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office and Young’s defense attorney pending the completion of the Macomb County Sheriff’s Department investigation into the arresting officers.
It is alleged that on Sunday, February 25, 2024, Gary Young was at his girlfriend’s residence in Sterling Heights where he assaulted his girlfriend and their teenage daughter.
