EXCLUSIVE: Wayne County declined to prosecute Jake Lang attacker in Dearborn
Wayne County prosecutors declined to bring felony and hate-crime charges against Abdoush in connection with an alleged attack on Jake Lang.
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Kurt Koning said there was insufficient evidence to show the alleged attack involved Lang’s religion.
Koning said there was insufficient evidence that Abdoush placed Lang and a police officer in reasonable fear of an immediate battery with a dangerous weapon.
Koning recommended that Dearborn attorneys pursue lesser misdemeanor charges locally, while spokesperson Maria Miller said the evidence was insufficient for criminal charges.
