Township officer Robert Wathen testified Thursday at the preliminary examination for the Kassabs in 41A District Court in Shelby Township that the couple escalated their behavior upon learning police were impounding the couple’s Cadillac Escalade that police believed was used by their son, Anthony, to fire shots from a gun at another vehicle on the road.
Sheriff’s investigators learned of the alleged plot last December after the victim’s attorney obtained recordings of the jail calls via a Freedom of Information Act request.
