Court Watching: Judge Parrott binds Olympia Trotty over on felonious assault charge

A June 14 preliminary exam was waived for Olympia Rian Trotty, 22, on a charge of assault in Van Buren Township on Nov. 19.
She is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon (felonious assault) on another female. The victim said Trotty hit her in the jaw with a lock.
Trotty is due at circuit court at 9 a.m., June 28, for her arraignment on the information. She is free after posting $5,000/10% bond. VBT Detective Donovan McCarthy is the officer in charge of the case. Trotty’s court-appointed attorney is David Lankford.
Dariusz Grezegorz Jaworski
The probable cause conference, which had been set for June 14, has been adjourned until 9 a.m. July 12, and the preliminary exam until 10 a.m. July 19 for defendant Dariusz Grezegorz Jaworski. He is charged with operating while intoxicated-3rd and driving while license suspended-2nd in Belleville on April 23.
His retained attorney Jinan Hamood told Judge Parrott that the video evidence she requested will not be available until next week. And, the attorney is going on a trip to Lebanon.
Officer in charge of the case is Belleville Officer Kendra Rose.
James Forrest Chapman
James Forrest Chapman, 57, did not appear in Judge Parrott’s courtroom for his probable cause conference on June 14 as scheduled, but his court-appointed attorney said Chapman will hold his preliminary exam on June 21. That would be in the courtroom of Judge Brian A. Oakley, who dismissed a DNA charge on Chapman in the past.
Chapman has had two previous charges from June 2016 reinstated by the Wayne County Prosecutor’s office: a felony charge of assaulting/resisting/obstructing a police officer (when he reportedly jumped into the lake to elude police) and a misdemeanor charge of refusing to provide a DNA sample.
Chapman already had an appointment for June 21 in Judge Oakley’s courtroom when he is expected to present a motion requesting dismissal of a 2015 DNA charge that was attached to a felony.
VBT Police Lt. Charles Bazzy is the officer in charge of the cases.
