UM student accused o f pulling gun on neighbor D aniel R oberts Kaimin reporter

UM student Richard Heilman was arraigned on a felony assault charge in Justice Court Tuesday after he allegedly held a cocked gun to another man’s head in their Blaine Street apartment complex. Heilman didn’t enter a plea and bond was set at $10,000. If convict­ ed he could face up to 10 years in prison and $50,000 in fines. According to the police affidavit, the incident began about 2 a.m. Tuesday when Heilman told neigh­ bor Guy Savage to be quiet. Savage was moving some items into his basement apartment. Savage said he told Heilman, Tim Krahl/Kaimin “Tm not afraid of you, so don’t be ELIZABETH HUNT auditions for a chance to sing the national anthem at one of the Grizzlies home basketball games.
