The Lansing Police Department responded to reports of shots fired and arrested Friske in the early morning of June 20. The department began investigating allegations of assault and use of a firearm.
Now, the Ingham County Prosecutor says he’s referring the case to Attorney General Dana Nessel, citing possible crimes in multiple counties in the state.
Friske represents a northern Michigan house district. He lost his bid for re-election during last month’s primary and will not appear on the November ballot.
