Eastpointe Dispensary Guard Charged With Assault With Intent to Murder After Parking Lot Stabbing

The case signals a hard line from Macomb County on violence at cannabis shops.

Overview

  • Webster, arraigned Wednesday, was given a $500,000 cash or surety bond with a GPS tether if released, no firearms, and no contact with the victim.
  • Prosecutors say the April 6 incident at Moses Roses in Eastpointe left the victim with non-life-threatening wounds after two stabbings, first near Webster’s truck and then through the victim’s car window.
  • Officials allege Webster falsely told police the man opened his truck door and stabbed him first.
  • The charges include assault with intent to murder, a felony that can carry up to life in prison, and lying to a peace officer during a violent-crime probe, a four-year felony.
  • A probable cause conference is set for April 28, and Prosecutor Peter Lucido said his office will pursue the case to the fullest extent of the law.
