Man accused of firing shots at car after March argument returns to jail after bond is raised
The man accused of firing gunshots at another man’s car following an argument returned to jail Thursday afternoon after a Washtenaw County Trial Court judge raised his bond, according to court officials.
Mark Hubbard returned to Washtenaw County Jail after Washtenaw County Trial Court Judge David Swartz raised his bail to a $100,000 cash bond Thursday, according to court officials.
Hubbard has been charged with conspiracy to commit assault with a dangerous weapon, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and carrying a concealed weapon stemming from an incident on March 16.
According to police, Hubbard allegedly got into an argument with a man at the Dairy Mart on Textile Road on March 16 and followed the man as he drove away.
Police said Hubbard allegedly fired several shots at the car while they were driving on McCartney Avenue, before firing again on Tyler Road. No bullets hit the man’s car and no one was injured, according to police.
Hubbard was scheduled to start his trial on Nov. 7, but it was delayed after more reports were released to Hubbard’s attorney, Michael Vincent. He is scheduled to return to court at 1:30 p.m. Jan. 5, according to jail records.

This guy is lucky the person he fired on did not fire back. I can assure you that I would have!

I agree that attempted murder should be included. This guy is driving along shooting at a car. Lucky he didn't hit someone in another car or on the roadside and kill them. If he did this, he belongs in a cage for a long time. Hope it's not another wrist slap.

Elementary stuff, but here goes: Was Hubbard returned to jail on $100,000 bail. Was he previously out on a lower bail? Has he been in jail since the shooting incident? Why was the bail raised? What was the bail previously? Is Michael Vincent his court-appointed attorney? Why were some reports not released until November 7? The who, the what and the where are all pretty well covered, but the various whens are awfully foggy and the why is on vacation.

The charges should include attempted murder. We shouldn't permit such violence, nor should we have to walk the same streets as such belligerents.
