Zachary Allen Hilton, 19, had his calendar conference on Sept. 26 at the Wayne County Circuit Court where his jury trial was set for Jan. 22 on four felony charges.
Hilton stood before Judge Vera Massey Jones, who set his final conference before the trial for Nov. 14.
His bond of $7,500 or 10%, set by 34th District Court Judge Tina Brooks Green, was continued.
Hilton is charged with assault by strangulation, assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, interfering with a crime report (committing crime/threatening to kill or injure), and domestic violence.
He is alleged to have attacked the mother of his child around midnight Aug. 19 at her home in the 47000 block of Hull in Van Buren Township.
VBT Police Detective Donovan McCarthy is the officer in charge of the case. Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor is Danielle Christine Strace. Hilton has a court-appointed attorney.
