Sheriff’s deputies were called Saturday around 2:25 p.m. to a residence on 8 Mile Road in Bruce Township.

Deputies say one round was fired in the air, one near the victim, and the third hit a side-by-side ORV. No one was in the vehicle at the time.

Lavigne was arrested and charged with felonious assault, felony firearms, possession of a weapon with intent, malicious destruction of property, and domestic assault. He was given a $25,000 cash bond with tether and other restrictions.
