Courthouse roundup: Man accused of using gun to assault woman

A Mount Pleasant man is facing charges of felonious assault and domestic assault after a Nov. 3 incident involving a pistol. Kurt Roger Nitschke, 47, was arraigned on the charges on Nov. 4 by Midland County District Court Judge Stephen P. Carras, who set bond at $50,000 cash or surety, which has been posted.
