The 16-year-old Huron High School student charged with a misdemeanor for assault and battery for allegedly knocking a 14-year-old Scarlett Middle School student unconscious was granted an adjournment Friday in Washtenaw County Juvenile Court.
The teen appeared before Judge Donald Shelton, who granted the defense's request for a pretrial hearing before juvenile court Referee Gail Altenburg.
Shelton set the hearing for July 3.
"We'll keep this on a relatively fast track," he said.
The Huron student is accused of punching a 14-year-old in the face, breaking his teeth and knocking him unconscious after a 15-year-old Huron student called the boy over at the corner of Lorraine and LaSalle in Ann Arbor.
It is believed that the victim was chosen at random, according to Ann Arbor police.
On March 8, a petition for a charge of aggravated assault was filed. The charge is a misdemeanor punishable by one year of incarceration or a $1,000 fine.
