Court Watching: Murder suspect Mark Germano held on $500,000 cash bond

Mark Allan Germano, 44, of Van Buren Township was arraigned June 7 by video from the VBT police lockup on charges of first degree murder and using a firearm to commit a felony.
34th District Court Judge Brian A. Oakley arraigned Germano and set bond of $500,000 cash or surety. Germano remains in the Wayne County Jail.
Germano’s next court appearance is June 21 before Judge Oakley for his probable cause conference. His preliminary exam is set for June 28 before 34th District Chief Judge Tina Brooks Green.
Germano could get life in prison if convicted of the June 4 murder of Edward Kuehn, 38, who was shot in the head and neck as he sat in his car in the parking lot of Tim Horton’s on Rawsonville Road.
Police said this appears to be a domestic issue and the two men knew each other. A weapon was confiscated from Germano when he was taken into custody at his home in the 45000 block of Bemis Road.
