Dalton John Young was arraigned Sunday on charges of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, first-degree home invasion, and resisting and obstructing a police officer in Marysville Michigan.
Young has played the past three seasons with the Saginaw Spirit. He had six goals and 39 assists in 68 games in the 2012-2013 season. He has been seen as a late blooming prospect by most professional scouts. Young was also invited to the NHL’s Washington Capitals camp after going undrafted in this past year’s NHL Draft.
Unfortunately this is not the first time Young has been arrested, and it was not the first time it involved his girlfriend and her family. Young was arrested last Thursday after he allegedly assaulted his 20-year-old girlfriend. He was arraigned Friday and released with a no-contact order.
The same day, after being released from jail, he visited his girlfriend’s home. This was a direct violation of the no-contact order.
When Young learned that his girlfriend wasn’t home, he allegedly forced his way into the home and entered the parents’ bedroom, and then proceeded to the kitchen.
The girlfriends parents called Young’s parents. Young’s parents came over and were speaking with the girlfriends parents when Young exited the kitchen and stabbed his girlfriend’s father in the back.
When Marysville officers arrived on the scene to treat the victim, they later found Young attempting to retrieve a rifle from a locked gun rack in the back of an officers patrol car.
Young is being held in jail in lieu of $50,000.00 bond and can only be released if the bond is paid and he is monitored by GPS tracking device. He is scheduled to be back in court on Aug. 19.
