BAD AXE — A Michigan State Police trooper will remain in the Huron County Jail after a judge found there was enough evidence showing the trooper violated his bond conditions.

Adam S. Mullin, 25, left his Huron County Circuit Court arraignment Monday in handcuffs and was given an orange, jail-issued jumpsuit following Judge Gerald M. Prill's order to revoke bond.

Mullin, a MSP Caro Post trooper, was arrested after he allegedly assaulted his partner — whom he was having an affair with — while on duty on Feb. 10.

Mullin's defense attorney, Christopher McGrath, pleaded not guilty to all charges on his client's behalf.

Before setting a trial date, the court heard testimonies during a five-hour hearing regarding a motion to revoke bond, filed by Brian J. Kolodziej, a prosecutor for the Michigan Attorney General's Office.

Kolodziej called Det./Sgt. BrianReece with the MSP's Special Investigation Section to the stand first. The night of the incident, Mullin threw the victim roughly six feet across a room where she sustained injuries to her head and back areas, Reece said.

Mullin did a fake traffic stop to cover up the assault and said the victim fell out of the car and slipped on ice, Reese said.

"The victim told us about assaults from back in 2018," Reece said, noting that in at least two of the assaults, Mullin choked the victim while on duty.

Kolodziej, in court, played four audio recordings from Nov. 19, 2018 and Feb. 10. In the recordings, Mullin was heard repeatedly cursing and yelling at the victim in an aggressive tone as well as asking her to perform oral sex while on duty.

"Let go of me!" the victim shouted to Mullin in the recording while he allegedly assaults her.

While reviewing video footage of Mullin's preliminary examination in Huron County District Court, Reece observed Mullin mouth words in the victim's direction after she finished testifying.

The words Mullin mouthed to the victim, according to the victim, in court were: "You're dead."

Kolodziej called the victim to the stand, who said she felt nervous and intimidated during the district court hearing. She said Mullin told her he "would kill her if this all came out."

"I believe he's capable of killing me," the victim said. "I don't think he would stop at anything."

The victim reiterated several times during Monday's hearing that she continues to "fear for her life."

Among all the evidence and testimony presented, Prill based his ruling around Mullin's behavior in district court and revoked his bond. He will remain in the Huron County Jail until his Sept. 10 trial date.

Mullin is facing single counts of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, aggravated domestic violence, obstruction of justice, misconduct in office, and assaulting/resisting a police officer causing injury.

As of Monday, the victim is still recovering from injuries and has not returned to work.
