The man accused of killing a Grand Blanc football coach during a workplace shooting in Almont has been formally charged and denied bond.
According to court records, 32-year-old William Leroy Channer III, of Columbus Township in St. Clair County, was arraigned Friday on multiple felony charges, including:
⌁ Homicide – First-Degree Premeditated Murder
⌁ Felony Firearm
⌁ Carrying a Concealed Weapon
⌁ Possession of a Firearm by a Prohibited Person
⌁ Fleeing and Eluding Police (Third Degree)
Investigators say Channer is accused of fatally shooting 30-year-old Logan Welch, a seventh-grade football coach at Grand Blanc West Middle School, at Welch’s workplace in Almont last week.
Following the shooting, Channer reportedly fled from police and was later hospitalized for three days before being taken into custody. He stood mute at his arraignment in Lapeer County District Court, where a not guilty plea was entered on his behalf.
If convicted, Channer faces up to life in prison without parole. He is currently being held at the Lapeer County Jail without bond.
Almont Police Chief Daniel Willis stated that the motive remains under investigation.
