CADILLAC â Jury selection in the trial of Randy Lee Smith is slated to begin this Tuesday, with actual proceedings beginning as early as Tuesday afternoon.
Earlier this year, Smith pleaded not guilty to several felony charges related to an incident in 2019 involving a vehicular pursuit and gunshots fired at deputies.
Smith had previously been sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to charges stemming from the same incident but in March, he withdrew those pleas after the Michigan Court of Appeals found âthere was no adequate factual basis for the guilty pleas.â
Smith contends that he never shot at deputies and actually attempted multiple times to prevent his codefendant, Cody Haner, from doing so.

MANTON â A few changes are in store during the next several months for the Manton Mini Mart, but for the most part, the popular business will remain as itâs always been â only with a different owner.
âItâs been a tradition in Manton for 45 years,â said Jason Francisco, who became the new owner of the Mini Mart on May 21. âWe want to take what Mel Powell did and keep that tradition going.â
The Manton Mini Mart is located at 305 West Main St. In addition to being a convenience store, the Mini Mart is known for its selection of foods prepared onsite, including fried chicken, pizza and potato wedges.
