Macomb County authorities say 52-year-old Frank Baran, Jr. and 41-year-old Natalie Fraley, both of Mount Clemens, recently waived their rights to a preliminary exam related to allegations of delivery and manufacture of controlled substances.
Last Thursday, Baran and Fraley were scheduled for preliminary exam before Judge Sebastian Lucido in the 41-B District Court in Clinton Township.
At that hearing, Baran and Fraley waived the right to a preliminary exam and both were bound over to the Macomb County Circuit Court.
Baran and Fraley are scheduled to be arraigned before Circuit Court Judge Richard Caretti on May 12.
Baran and Fraley are facing charges related to an investigation by Sheriff’s Enforcement Team (SET), comprised of members of the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office and Warren Police Department.
