A 19-year-old Indiana man will face trial in connection with an attack on a Michigan State Police trooper in Berrien County. A preliminary examination was held Tuesday for Travis Wise, of Middlebury. Wise and 21-year-old Michael Barber, of Gobles, face assault with intent to murder and other charges. Police have said Trooper Garry Guild was chasing a stolen motorcycle on February 20 near Berrien Springs. The driver charged Guild after crashing the motorcycle. That man’s half brother then pulled up in a car and joined in attacking Guild. Two passersby stopped the men, allowing the officer to arrest his attackers. An April 19 pretrial conference is scheduled for Wise and Barber. Their trial is to start May 17.
