Shooting Suspect, Ex-Wife To Stand Trial on Robbery Charges

The man accused of fatally shooting a Livonia police officer, along with his ex-wife, will stand trial in Macomb Circuit Court on charges they were involved in a Shores break-in and gun theft.

The former couple waived their separate preliminary exams Tuesday in 40th District Court on the charges and will be arraigned March 28 on the charges in Macomb Circuit Court.

"I feel I am being railroaded," Bowling said before he waived his exam.

Terry Bowling and his brother, David, are alleged to have broken into a home on the 22000 block of Doremus between Jan. 16 an Jan. 17, hours before they were involved in the shooting in Walled Lake that took the life of Livonia Police Officer Larry Nehasil.

As the brothers were allegedly ransacking the house, Terry Bowling's ex-wife, Lisa Dunn, was allegedly circling the street waiting for them.

During the robbery, police said, the brothers stole silver-plated silverware, costume jewelry and a .38 snub-nosed revolver. They went to a pawn dealer and attempted to sell the silverware and jewelry, according to police.

Dunn was given the gun and sold it for $40 and two rocks of crack cocaine, police said.

As the brothers went into Oakland County on Jan. 17, undercover officers followed them to Walled Lake and confronted them. During the ensuing firefight, Nehasil and David Bowling were killed.

Terry Bowling, 48, is charged in Oakland County with resisting and obstructing police, murder and home invasion. In the robbery in St. Clair Shores, he is charged with first-degree home invasion, a 20-year felony, and receiving and concealing a stolen firearm, a 10-year felony.

Dunn, 37, who is facing federal firearm charges, was charged with second-degree home invasion, a 15-year felony, and receiving and concealing a stolen firearm, a 10-year felony.

Both are being held on $250,000 bond for the St. Clair Shores cases and are being represented by court-appointed attorneys.
