Man accused of jumping over the counter after failing driver's license test

TROY, Mich. (AP) — Police say a man who failed a test for his driver's license threw the test and a pencil at a clerk and jumped over the counter in suburban Detroit.

Brandon Boles is in custody after the incident Friday at a Secretary of State office in Troy.

Police Capt. Robert Redmond tells WXYZ-TV (http://bit.ly/1Ml6lxX ) that the 22-year-old Boles became irate when a clerk told him he failed the test a second time because he used a cellphone.

Redmond says the clerk was "traumatized." Boles faces misdemeanor assault charges, but he also faces felony charges for a separate but related incident.

Redmond says Boles is accused of assaulting two officers after a court appearance.
