Nodin James Chervenka, who charged at Grand Rapids officers with a weapon during a threat investigation, is now is facing attempted murder and torture charges for an unrelated incident.

The 19-year-old was originally charged with felonious assault and resisting/opposing officers after an altercation with police that ended in a shooting in December 2023.

The incident can be seen in the body camera video released by the Grand Rapids Police Department.
