A rock musician accused of beating and burning an Ann Arbor woman after an impromptu University of Michigan campus concert has waived his preliminary examination on a reduced charge and been to Washtenaw County Circuit Court.
New Hampshire-born Kevin M. Allin told 15th District Judge S.J. Elden on Wednesday that he agreed with an arrangement made by his attorney, Assistant Public Defender R. William Schooley, with Assistant Prosecutor Larry Burgess.
Under the terms of that agreement, Burgees will dismiss the original charge of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and file the lesser charge of assault with a dangerous weapon.
In exchange, the 33-year-old Allin will enter a plea of no contest to the dangerous weapon charge when arraigned before Circuit Judge William F. Ager Jr. Conviction on that charge can bring a sentence of four years in prison or a fine of $2,000.
Allin was arrested in Illinois in September on a warrant. He is accused of beating and burning a 25-year-old local woman in her North Fourth Avenue apartment last April. Investigators said the incident occurred shortly after an appearance by Allin's rock band in the U-M's East Quad dormitory.
Witnesses said that during that concert, Allin stripped, jumped off the stage, kicked a woman spectator and hit a male student with a chair.
