Aug. 20—A Joplin man accused of wielding a metal pipe in an attack on another man a year ago was ordered bound over for trial Thursday on a felony assault charge.

Michael D. White, 22, waived a preliminary hearing in Jasper County Circuit Court on a charge of second-degree assault. Judge Joe Hensley set White's initial appearance in a trial division for Sept. 15.

White and a second man allegedly confronted Douglas Starbuck on Aug. 22 at Starbuck's residence on Jackson Avenue in Joplin concerning the retrieval of property there.

An argument erupted among them, and the third man purportedly pointed a gun at Starbuck's face while White allegedly hit him in the arm with a metal pipe. The blow left the alleged victim with bruising and swelling of his arm, according to a probable-cause affidavit.

Illumina in EU antitrust sights over premature $8 billion Grail deal
U.S. life sciences company Illumina could face a hefty fine for jumping the gun by completing its $8 billion cash-and-stock takeover of cancer detection test maker Grail without first securing EU antitrust approval. Illumina closed the Grail takeover on Wednesday and said it would hold the company separate while waiting for the European Commission to decide whether to clear or block the deal. But the EU executive said on Friday it would investigate if Illumina has breached its standstill obligation, which requires companies to secure EU antitrust approval before closing any merger deals.
