Charges filed in Berrien County Motel Murder

BERRIEN COUNTY, Mich. -- An arrest was made in the brutal murder of a disabled man in a wheelchair in Berrien County.

The prosecutor confirms Joseph Griffith; a once homeless double amputee was beaten to death at Ray's Motel back in April.

Suspect, 34-year-old Michael Brewer, was arrested on May 9 after a standoff in Coloma, and is now charged with homicide.

The Berrien County Prosecutor says Brewer was arraigned in court, with a bond set at one million dollars.

Brewer is due back in court on May 21.
