Chad Vorce was arraigned last Thursday and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, firearm possession, and misconduct in office, all felonies, according to the office of Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. Vorce faces up to five years in prison and a fine of $10,000 for the misconduct charge alone.
