A Springfield Township man was arraigned on three assault charges on Feb. 19 after he allegedly hit a Clarkston man with a hammer several times.
George Michel Nadon, 48, allegedly struck his wife’s ex-husband in the shoulder, neck and head with a claw hammer on Feb. 18 when the victim came to the address with questions about his daughter.
Nadon faces counts of assault with intent to do great bodily harm, felonious assault and aggravated assault.
According to police reports, the victim came to his ex-wife’s house around 11:30 a.m. to find out where their mutual daughter was and to what doctor she is supposed to go.
The victim tried to call his ex-wife two times and hung up when Nadon answered her cell phone. The victim stated he attempted to leave a voice mail as was normal. Nadon stated in police reports the two men spoke on a third call and the victim allegedly asked Nadon about his anger management classes.
According to reports, the comment angered Nadon, who called the victim back several times as a prank.
The man came to his ex-wife’s apartment on Bluewater near Dixie Highway when those efforts to reach her failed.
Reports indicate Nadon claimed to grabbed the hammer because the victim was quite bigger then him.
Nadon answered the door already holding the claw hammer and struck the victim. During the process, Nadon lost control of the hammer. After an unsuccessful attempt to grab the hammer, the victim fled to his van to retrieve his cell phone and call 911, state reports.
After police arrived, Nadon led them to the hammer on a pantry shelf.
The victim was transported to Genesys Hospital in Grand Blanc and was told he had a closed head injury. Eight staples were needed to close his head wound, stated reports.
Nadon is schedule to appear in 52-2 District Court again on March 2 at 1:30 p.m. before Judge Kostin.
