Man accused of assaulting dad with vacuum cleaner
Jermaine L. Boose, 21, is charged with felonious assault in connection with a June 4 incident at his family’s home at 2381 Rolling Green near Weiss and Center.
Boose’s arrest warrant alleges he assaulted his father, 50-year-old Jerry Boose, with a vacuum cleaner. The assault charge also is known as assault with a dangerous weapon.
Saginaw County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Christopher Boyd said Jermaine Boose and his father were having an argument about the son violating his probation. The father told his son to leave the home, and as Jermaine Boose exited, he grabbed the vacuum cleaner that was near the door and hit his father with it, Boyd said.
Felonious assault carries a maximum penalty of four years in prison. Boose also faces a misdemeanor count of domestic violence.
In arraigning Boose on Monday, June 8, Saginaw County District Judge M. Randall Jurrens entered a not guilty plea on his behalf and ordered him held on a $5,000 or 10 percent bond.
Boose remains free after posting the bond and is scheduled for a June 24 preliminary hearing before Jurrens.
