A STERLING HEIGHTS, MICHIGAN, FIREFIGHTER HAS BEEN taken into custody by police following a bizarre incident Sunday night. Joel Abernathy, 44, was arraigned Monday and charged with felonious assault and a firearms offense after an altercation with his wife and an off-duty bartender.

Abernathy and his wife were patrons at the Ugly Duckling bar in nearby Harper Woods when they got into an argument. He then stormed out of the bar, but returned 40 minutes later suddenly clothed in his fire department dress uniform and carrying a large handgun.

While he was gone, his wife moved to another area in the bar to play a game of pool. When Abernathy returned he mistook another woman sitting at the bar, an off-duty employee, for his wife and accosted her with the gun. Holding the gun to her head, he demanded that she “give me the keys!” After realizing his mistake, he sought out his wife in the bar, grabbed her purse and left.

When the police arrived, other patrons identified him and his credit card receipt confirmed it. Driving to his house, they found him walking along the street and arrested him.

Former Newaygo County sheriff's deputy sentenced to 90 days in jail for assaulting reserve officer

NEWAYGO COUNTY -- A former Newaygo County sheriff's deputy, accused of sexually assaulting a reserve police officer, was sentenced to 90 days in jail after he pleaded no contest to assault with intent to commit great bodily harm, less than murder.

Robert Dakin, 39, was charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct. The original charge, a 15-year felony, alleged he touched a 33-year-old reserve police officer from another agency against her will in 2002.

Dakin pleaded no contest in January and part of the agreement was that the 90-day sentence would be held in abeyance as long as the former cop adheres to the terms of his probation and does not commit another crime.
