Dane Mathew Steward was arraigned before Judge Derek Meinecke of 44th District Court and denied bond on the charge, which carries a penalty of life in prison without the possibility of parole. Steward was arrested Thursday in Livingston County following a chase that involved police from several jurisdictions.

Acting on concerns of relatives, Royal Oak police found Dennis Steward inside his home in the 3700 block of Elmhurst, near 13 Mile and Crooks roads, about 5:52 p.m. Thursday.

Relatives had been unable to reach Steward, who was found with his hands and legs bound. An autopsy determined he had died from strangulation and likely had been dead for more than a day.

Steward's car was missing and a "be-on-lookout" advisory was sent out for the vehicle and his son, who lived with him. A Berrien County Sheriff’s deputy reported he had come in contact with the suspect early Thursday morning near the Michigan-Indiana border when his vehicle had run out of gas.

Thursday evening, Gratiot County deputies were called to a gas station on a report of a man — later identified as the suspect — acting erratically. He resisted arrest, assaulted deputies and fled in his car, leading police on an hour-long chase that went through several counties.

To bound and murder your own father, is evil.
To explain this, I wonder if the son was affected by drugs.

Steward led police on a car chase through four counties for over an hour, until police finally managed to disable his vehicle using spike strips on Interstate 96 near Howell.

Police say Steward again resisted arrest and had to be Tasered twice before he was taken into custody. He suffered minor injuries and was evaluated at a hospital before booking.

Mugshots show Stewart with a black eye and several abrasions to his face.

Steward was arraigned on Monday for first-degree murder, and faces life in prison without parole if convicted.

He is being held without bail in Oakland County, and also has warrants in Graniot and Livingston Counties for charges of assaulting a police officer.

Steward is next due in court on February 1. He has asked a judge to serve as his own attorney.
