Attorney General Dana Nessel announced that former Bay City Public Service Director Michael Cecchini, 56, Bay City, was arraigned in the 74th District Court Thursday, January 26, on the misdemeanor charge of Assault and Battery.
Cecchini was given a personal recognizance bond, along with orders to have no contact with the victim, no possession of any weapons, and other standard bond conditions.
The Department announced the charges against Cecchini earlier this week. The case was assigned to the Department of Attorney General through a Special Prosecutor Assignment request on behalf of the Bay County Prosecutor’s Office.
“Law enforcement officers are not exempt from the law and must conduct themselves accordingly in order to gain and maintain the public’s trust,” said Nessel.
A pretrial conference has been scheduled on March 2, 2023, at 9:40 am before Judge Mark E Janer.
