ALLEGAN COUNTY, Mich. — The man accused of shooting his pregnant girlfriend in a Lee Township home has been arraigned, according to the Allegan County Sheriff's Office.
Dylan Michael Percival, 23, from the Pullman area, faces 10 charges, including assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, aggravated assault, reckless discharge of a firearm, being a habitual offender and other weapons charges.
Percival's bond is set at $75,000.
On June 15, ACSO said Allegan Central Dispatch received a call from a home on 105th Avenue in Lee Township that a pregnant woman had been shot.
The Lee Township contract deputy arrived at the scene and began first aid on a pregnant 31-year-old woman who had been shot. ACSO said she was taken to a local hospital where she and the baby are in good condition.
According to ACSO, the victim was in an argument with Percival. During the argument, Percival had a pistol that went off, hitting the woman in her abdomen and leg.
Court documents filed in the case said one of the witnesses said Percival and his pregnant girlfriend were arguing about his "lifestyle and life choices."
During that argument, the witness said Percival pulled out a gun from his waistband and racked a round through the slide to "prove it was real."
As he was playing with the gun, the witness told authorities, the gun went off hitting the woman.
Percival left the scene on a reported stolen motorcycle, ACSO said. Deputies were then able to find the gun used and made contact with Percival over the phone while trying to find him.
After several tips from the community, Percival was found on June 17 and taken into custody.
Percival recently served time in prison for felonious assault and the possession of Methamphetamine.
