Overview

• Craig Steven Miceli, 54, pleaded not guilty on May 27 to felony counts including assault with a firearm and unlawful assault weapon possession after allegedly firing at an SUV carrying three Hillsdale High students.
• Prosecutors say the teens first spread oil on Miceli’s porch and later egged his San Mateo home before he aimed at their SUV’s tires, striking the front passenger quarter panel.
• A search warrant at Miceli’s Annapolis Drive residence uncovered an illegal automatic rifle and several types of ammunition.
• Miceli was released on $25,000 bail under a protective order barring contact with the students and is due back in court June 9 for a preliminary hearing.
• Neighbors and legal officials have voiced concern over the students’ alleged bullying tactics and the boundaries of a parent’s use of deadly force in response.
