DETROIT (WXYZ) - An emotional Maryanne Godboldo appeared at a rally and fundraiser in her honor on Sunday. The community came together to show their support – just one week before the embattled mother is set to have her preliminary examination.

Godboldo is facing a series of charges stemming from a standoff last March. She’s accused of firing a shot at police after CPS case workers showed up at her door to take custody of her 13-year-old daughter.
CPS alleged that Godboldo was not administering the correct medication to her daughter. The 13-year-old is disabled and has a reduced mental capacity.
Godboldo denies she fired at police and says caseworkers had no right to remove her daughter.
Action News investigator Heather Catallo obtained the order that sparked the standoff. In it she found conflicting boxes checked and a questionable date stamp.
The preliminary exam is set for July 25th.
