Support pours in for father who rushed Larry Nassar

Social media and financial support have poured in for a father who rushed Larry Nassar during his sentencing hearing Friday in Eaton County. 

During the press conference Friday, Grewal said a GoFundMe page set up in support of Randall Margraves was not authorized and asked that it be taken down. By the end of the day Friday, about $16,000 had been raised. A GoFundMe spokesman said he was working with the organizer to ensure the funds were handled appropriately.

Randall Margraves, who learned some of the details of his daughters' assaults for the first time in court Friday, rushed the table where Nassar was sitting after the last of his three daughters addressed the disgraced doctor. 

Margraves nearly reached Nassar, but was blocked by Nassar’s attorney Matthew Newburg and then was restrained by at least three deputies. He was handcuffed and is being detained until an investigation is complete. 

“Give me one minute with that bastard,” Margraves said after he was tackled.

Margraves was held in contempt of court, but was not fined or jailed. 

The Eaton County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate the incident and could submit a charge request to the prosecutor's office.
