A Husband, wife have been charged with felony assault after holding a black mother and her child at gunpoint during an argument at an Orion Twp. restaurant parking lot.
Videos posted to Twitter and YouTube show the armed woman pointing a pistol at the mom and yelling “back the f**k up!” The mom holding the camera can be heard saying to “get the license plate” and asking for the cops to be called.
Sheriff Michael Bouchard said the heated exchange appears to stem from when the woman bumped into the mom’s daughter as they were entering the restaurant. After the mom asked the woman to apologize, the disagreement brewed into a shouting match before a firearm was drawn.
During a press conference Thursday afternoon, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard announced the woman and the man driving the vehicle are both being charged with felonious assault, a 4-year felony.
Shortly after Bouchard finished his press conference, Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper announce Jillian Wuestenberg, 32, and Eric Wuestenberg, 42, were charged with the felonies. Both are expected to be arraigned in Rochester on Thursday.
Here’s one of the videos circulating online:
