Saline MSU student ordered to trial on charges of assault, filing false police report
The Michigan State University student from Saline accused of filing a false police report and stalking and assaulting his girlfriend was ordered Monday to stand trial, MLive reported.
Brandon Carmack, 20, of Saline, on Monday waived preliminary examination in an East Lansing court, binding his case over to Ingham County Circuit Court for trial.

Carmack initially claimed that hockey players beat him up at a gathering in East Lansing, but police later alleged he was the aggressor and he was charged with assault and battery and filing a false police report.
Several MSU hockey players and other witnesses, including Carmack's ex-girlfriend, testified when his preliminary examination began on Nov. 7. The hearing was scheduled to resume Monday afternoon prior to Carmack's waiver.
His former girlfriend testified Carmack grabbed her by the neck at a gathering on Aug. 28 and tried to choke her until the hockey players and others intervened.
Hockey players alleged Carmack was combative and assaulted them when they tried to make sure he left the gathering.

As genetracy notes, this happened in East Lansing. I've clarified that in the article.

Mom stirred up the trouble to begin with. If she had not sent the email, this may not have even become a local story. I've said it before and I will say it again, she owes the MSU hockey team an apology, so does her son. And the son owes mom a huge apology for lying to her and causing her to humiliate her family.

I'm pretty sure that Barb "mom" Carmack is hurting from this. Leave her alone!

"Brandon Carmack, an advertising major, was beaten, stabbed in the head and arm and left with a broken nose and broken ribs, Barb Carmack said in an email to AnnArbor.com.".... Seems like Mom Carmack may not have given the true facts to AA.com. Wonder what she knew at the time vs. now? Perhaps AA.com can get an update from Barb Carmack.
