DETROIT (WWJ) - A Detroit man is jailed on multiple felony charges in connection with a crash and shooting over the weekend.
According to prosecutors, 69-year-old Michael Hazaiah Williams was armed when he excited his vehicle and following a collision at around 4 p.m. Sunday, at Gallagher Street and E. Grixdale Street in Detroit.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy says it's alleged that Williams fired shots at two people who were in the other car — a 17-year-old girl and a 28-year-old woman — striking their vehicle.

Williams was scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday afternoon in 36th District Court.
