Oakland County, MI – An Auburn Hills man was arraigned Wednesday, September 16, 2026, on four felony charges in connection with a shooting that left two people injured at Wisner Stadium. Sherwood Lennard Jackson Jr., 37, appeared before the Honorable Judge Rhonda M. Gross in 50th District Court.
According to the Oakland County Sheriff ’s Office, Jackson faces one count of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder or by strangulation, one count of assault with a dangerous weapon, and two counts of felony firearm.

Authorities stated that deputies located Jackson based on witness information and recovered a loaded 9 mm handgun from his person.
