Minnick was injured, becoming paralyzed from the waist down.

On Sept. 17, Minnick pleaded no contest to his charges. Judge Matthew P. Sabaugh accepted his plea under a Cobbs agreement of no incarceration.

A Cobbs agreement is between the defendant and the judge in a case.

 This case has had life-altering consequences, including for the defendant himself. While his injuries may make incarceration unlikely, the seriousness of his conduct cannot be overlooked. His no-contest plea acknowledges his responsibility, and the court will determine the appropriate sentence,  said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido in a statement.

He is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 4 at 9 a.m.
