Arraignment For Man Accused Of Posting Hateful, Threatening Video

ROMULUS (WWJ) - A Detroit man was in court Sunday after turning himself in to police in connection with a video made public of a threat with a gun against a man he thought was gay.

Detroit police Sgt. Michael Woody said 20-year-old Stephen Edwards turned himself in Saturday after negotiating with him for some time. The man faces felonious assault, carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle, and felony firearm charges.

The video starts with a man inside a car, talking about how he hates "gay n-words" then he sees a friendly looking young man in a striped tank top, walk out the door and calls him over.

He points a handgun out the window at the man and repeats the phrase. The victim then scrambles away, clutching his lemonade, saying "I'm not even like that."

Edwards is blaming drugs and alcohol for the incident.

Woody previously said a hate crime charge was possible in this case. It's unclear at this time if that is still on the table.
