SOUTHFIELD -- The Troy man accused of plowing his minivan into a
festival crowd Sunday, injuring 13 people, has been charged with 28
felonies and could spend the rest of his life in prison.
Timothy Hall Buss, 34, was arraigned Wednesday morning in 46th
District Court and faces 13 counts of felony assault with the intent
to murder, 13 counts of felony assault with a dangerous weapon, one
felony count of leaving the scene of an accident and one charge of
malicious destruction of property. His bond was set at $1.3
million. The penalties for the most serious charges range up to life
in prison.
Buss, dressed in blue jeans and an untucked red button-down shirt,
stood mute as Judge Susan M. Moiseev read the charges against him. He
requested a court-appointed attorney.
Police say nine children and four adults were injured when Buss' 1994
Plymouth Grand Voyager drove into a crowd at around 2 p.m. Sunday at
an outdoor event at the Alex Manoogian School at St. John's Armenian
Church.
One woman suffered a crushed pelvis and is still hospitalized, but
none of the injuries is believed to be life threatening. School
officials said five of the six students injured have returned to
school.
Buss' preliminary exam conference has been set for 8:30 a.m. May 31,
and the preliminary exam is set for 9:30 a.m. June 2.
