A Chattanooga man arrested after being caught on home surveillance video threatening a woman and her son after she allegedly cut him off while driving had his first day in court Thursday.
“We have some medical records that are relevant to the situation that I’m going to provide to the DA’s office,” Arthur Grisham, the Chattanooga attorney representing Michael Wayne Harvey, told Hamilton County General Sessions Court Judge Gary Starnes during the hearing.
“He’s on disability and (has) chronic depressive disorder,” Grisham said, before asking for a new court date to allow documents to be submitted to the prosecution’s office.
Harvey, 42, appeared before Starnes to face one count of vandalism/criminal mischief, one count of disorderly conduct and one count of assault charges stemming from the Aug. 22 incident. According to Hamilton County Criminal Court records, he has five previous traffic violations including two speeding violations, one light law violation, one for driving without a license and one for driving in an unregistered vehicle.
