Trey Songz waives hearing, bound over for trial in Detroit assault case

DETROIT – Singer Trey Songz waived his preliminary examination Friday and was bound over for trial on charges accusing him of injuring a Detroit police sergeant when he became belligerent on stage during his show Dec. 28 at Joe Louis Arena. 

Tremaine Neverson, known better as Trey Songz, was arrested after the show and charged with assaulting a police officer causing injury and aggravated assault. The court set a $25,000, 10 percent, bond, which he posted.

According to Detroit police, Neverson became belligerent when he ran out of time and was asked to get off the stage. He began throwing speakers, microphones, and other objects. Several concertgoers told Local 4 they were surprised to see him do this. 

Detroit police officers went on stage and tried to calm him down, but he continued to throw things. A Detroit police sergeant was hit in the head and taken to the hospital with a concussion. The prosecutor's office said the officer was hit with Neverson's fist. The sergeant has since been released.
