A Harrison Township man must undergo extensive mental health treatment to receive a substantial break in his criminal record, agreed to by his girlfriend, who he was charged with battery and imprisoned.

Danzelle Williams, 24, recently received a deferred sentence in Macomb County Circuit Court for the April 30 attack on his girlfriend in a vehicle at a mobile home in Harrison Township, in which he head-butted her against the interior windows of his Cadillac Escalade during an intense verbal. dispute.

At his Oct. 23 sentencing, Judge Julie Gatti finalized her plea agreement in which a charge of assault with intent to do great bodily harm, a 10-year felony, will be reduced to a charge of one-year assault and a second count of misdemeanor assault will remain if he complies with the terms of his probation, including a 26-week batterer’s intervention course and an impulse control course, at a review hearing in September 2025.

Charges of unlawful imprisonment, tampering with evidence and criminal possession of a firearm will be dismissed under the agreement.
