Carmichael pleaded not guilty to the charge. However, bail was refused since the defendant has a pending firearm charge made out against him. As such, he was remanded to prison until March 19, 2021.

Due to insufficient evidence, the case was dismissed against him. In the same matter, the other party was given a three-year sentenced and ordered to pay $367,000 in fines.
