MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich – A Mount Clemens man is facing multiple felony charges after authorities said he assaulted two teenagers, resisted arrest, and concealed a stolen loaded handgun inside a home.
Deputies with the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office responded to a residence in the 100 block of Barbara Street after receiving a report from a woman who alleged that her boyfriend was assaulting her teenage children and was armed with a handgun.

Police said the caller was not at the residence when deputies arrived.
Authorities identified the suspect as Bryant Hall, 44, of Mount Clemens.
According to the sheriff’s office, deputies attempted to take Hall into custody, but he became combative and actively resisted arrest. Investigators said Hall continued fighting with deputies after being handcuffed and later kicked and struck the windows and doors of a patrol vehicle while being transported to the Macomb County Jail.
No injuries were reported among the teenage victims during the incident.
During their investigation, deputies discovered a black-and-silver Ruger handgun hidden in the basement rafters inside a flexible air-conditioning duct.
The firearm was loaded with a full magazine and matched the description provided during the assault investigation, police said.
Investigators later determined the handgun had been reported stolen in Roseville.
Hall was arraigned in 41B District Court on multiple charges, including possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, three counts of felony firearm-second offense, possession of ammunition by a prohibited person, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, assaulting, resisting or obstructing a police officer causing injury, three additional counts of assaulting, resisting or obstructing a police officer, and one count of domestic violence.
A judge set Hall’s bond at $250,000 cash or surety.
If released, Hall will be required to wear a GPS tether and have no contact with the victims.
Hall remained lodged in the Macomb County Jail following his arraignment.
