Plaintiff-Appellee,
v
No. 229171
Montmorency Circuit Court
LC Nos. 99-001175-FC &
99-001177-FH
RONALD JOHN SHAMBEAU,
Defendant-Appellant.
Before: K.F. Kelly, P.J., and Doctoroff and Cavanagh, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Defendant appeals as of right his jury convictions for discharge of a weapon at an
occupied building, MCL 750.234b, resisting and obstructing a police officer, MCL 750.479, and
assault and battery, MCL 750.81. We affirm.
On appeal, defendant argues that unrelated charges were improperly consolidated for
trial. MCL 6.120 provides in part:
(A) An information or indictment may charge a single defendant with any two or
more offenses. Each offense must be stated in a separate count. Two or more
informations or indictments against a single defendant may be consolidated for a
single trial.
(B) On the defendant’s motion, the court must sever unrelated offenses
for separate trials. For purposes of this rule, two offenses are related if they are
based on
(1) the same conduct, or
(2) a series of connected acts constituting part of a single scheme or plan.
Defendant failed to object to joinder of the charges, and agreed on the record to the
consolidation. Defendant intentionally relinquished a known right, and has waived this issue on
