Ray's lawyer requested a three-week adjournment for further investigation. Swartz granted the request and set a new pretrial hearing for Aug. 22.
On Feb. 27, Pittsfield Township police responded to a report of a gunman aiming at motorists on U.S. 23 near Michigan Avenue just west of Carpenter Road.
Witnesses said the gunman was using a sawed-off shotgun to shoot at multiple cars. No cars were hit, and there were no injuries.
Ray was arrested as he walked west away from the area, police said.
He is charged with four counts of assault with intent to murder, four counts of assault with intent to commit great bodily harm less than murder, and one count each of possession of a short-barreled shotgun or rifle, carrying a weapon with unlawful intent and possession of a firearm in commission of a felony.
