HARRISON, MI — A Montana man alleged to have held police at bay in an eight-hour standoff at a Clare County hotel is facing several criminal charges.
David M. Wood, 49, has been arraigned in Clare County District Court on three counts of assault with intent to murder, four count of felony firearm, and one count of discharging a firearm in or at a building, according to Clare County Prosecutor Michelle J. Ambrozaitis.
The first charge is a life offense, while a felony firearm conviction comes with a mandatory minimum two-year prison sentence to be served consecutively with any related stint. The third charge is a 10-year felony.
Wood, who resides in Helena, Montana, was at the Quality Inn at 10318 S. Clare Ave. in Clare when police responded there to reports of a domestic disturbance involving a man armed with a handgun about 12:15 a.m. on Monday, July 27.
Clare Police Chief Brian Gregory previously told MLive that the suspect — Wood — was alone when police arrived, with the victim outside.
Wood allegedly came to the door when police arrived, confronted officers, and refused to put the weapon down, which led officers to retreat.
“Shots were fired by suspect into the parking lot where officers were standing,” Gregory has said. “He was in his room and hallway of (the) hotel.”
Hotel occupants were escorted from the scene.
Negotiations began with Wood with assistance from the Northern Michigan Mutual Aid Emergency Response Team, Clare County Sheriff’s Office, and Michigan State Police.
Wood eventually surrendered to police after eight hours.
“The case is still under investigation and more reports are expected to be received, which means that additional charges could be added if supported by those additional reports,” Ambrozaitis said in a press release.
Wood is being held at the Clare County Jail on a $300,000 cash-surety bond.
