PLAINWELL, Mich. — Michigan State Police launched an investigation after a man on the sex offender registry was assaulted outside his home over the weekend.
The incident happened before sunrise on Sunday, May 31 near Plainwell. The man and his wife heard noises outside the house, prompting him to go out to see what the commotion was, said police.
The man found a group of young men who started asking questions about his background and status as a registered sex offender. At least one of the group hit the man in the head while another appeared to be recording on his phone, according to police.
