🚓🚨This week's edition of "Things We Didn't Expect to Deal With" features a man who became one with a lawn, an impromptu downtown fight club, a driver auditioning for a racing movie, and a suspect who treated police contact like an Olympic sprint event.🚓🚨

🚔Officers were dispatched to the 600 block of Eureka regarding a male who appeared to have mistaken the grass for a recliner. Upon arrival, officers made contact with the male, who was conscious, breathing, and apparently enjoying an outdoor relaxation session.

The male explained that he was simply unwinding after a few drinks and was still holding a Styrofoam cup containing what officers suspected was not lemonade. Officers observed bloodshot eyes and detected a strong odor of intoxicants coming from his breath.

When the male attempted to stand, gravity strongly disagreed with his decision. He was extremely unsteady on his feet and required assistance from officers to remain upright.

The male submitted to a preliminary breath test (PBT), which produced a result that could generously be described as "enthusiastic." A records check further revealed several outstanding local warrants.

The male's afternoon picnic with the lawn concluded when he was arrested for disorderly conduct and the outstanding warrants.

🚔While a double unit was patrolling the downtown area, officers observed what appeared to be an unscheduled mixed martial arts event involving a large crowd of individuals. As officers attempted to make contact with several males, a few competitors elected to begin the "100-yard dash" portion of the evening and fled on foot, while other participants remained engaged in active combat.

Officers successfully separated the males involved in the fight, and they were subsequently arrested for disorderly conduct.

As officers were placing the males under arrest, a highly intoxicated female decided to provide running commentary by loudly screaming profanities at officers. Despite being advised several times to stop, she remained committed to her performance. When an officer attempted to place her under arrest for disorderly conduct, she resisted officers' efforts but was eventually taken into custody.

While officers were es**rting the female to a patrol vehicle, one of the males who had previously fled the scene apparently reconsidered his escape plan and returned to demand the female's release. He loudly yelled at officers and was subsequently arrested for disorderly conduct. During the arrest, he resisted officers but was eventually taken into custody.

As officers continued their investigation, another female approached and repeatedly interfered with officers' duties despite being advised several times to stop. Apparently inspired by the night's group participation theme, she continued her interference and was ultimately arrested for obstructing officers.

In the end, what began as a downtown disturbance evolved into a community-wide effort to test officers' patience, resulting in multiple arrests and a significantly quieter scene.

🚔While patrolling the area of Fort St. and Goddard, officers were alerted that a fleeing and eluding vehicle was traveling in the vicinity. Shortly thereafter, officers observed the vehicle traveling southbound on Fort St. and attempted to initiate a traffic stop.

The driver, apparently operating under the mistaken belief that participation in the stop was optional, refused to yield and instead accelerated away at a high rate of speed. The vehicle continued through several neighboring jurisdictions while officers attempted to maintain visual contact.

Unfortunately for everyone except the driver, the vehicle eventually disappeared from sight and officers terminated the pursuit after losing visual contact. The driver was last seen pursuing what appeared to be a personal speed record rather than complying with basic traffic laws.

🚔Officers were dispatched to assist a neighboring agency regarding a male reportedly flashing a firearm. Upon arrival, officers observed a male matching the provided description.

As officers attempted to make contact with him, the male immediately implemented what he apparently believed was a foolproof legal defense strategy: running away. After a brief foot pursuit, the male stopped and was ordered to show his hands.

Rather than simply complying, the male reached into his pants and produced what appeared to be a firearm. He then informed officers that it was actually a BB gun and placed it on the ground. While this clarification was appreciated, it did little to improve the situation.

As officers approached to take him into custody, the male apparently decided he was not finished running for the evening and attempted to flee once again. Officers quickly caught up to him, and a brief wrestling match ensued. The male ultimately lost the contest and was placed in handcuffs.

✏️🚔The Wyandotte Police Department would like to wish all students a fun, safe, and relaxing summer break. Enjoy your time with friends and family, make lasting memories, and remember to stay safe while enjoying everything summer has to offer. See you next school year!☀️😎

Happy Friday, Wyandotte!

This week brought its usual share of shenanigans, but not every call for service involves lights, sirens, and paperwork stacks. Between the routine hustle, our School Resource Officers took some time to step away from the chaos and connect with some of our youngest citizens in a more positive way. From bikes and books to a little community engagement, here’s a look at a few of the good things happening around the city this week:

▪️A BOL alert led officers to a vehicle wanted in connection with an armed robbery investigation out of another jurisdiction.

Officers located the vehicle parked near Eureka and 4th and maintained surveillance while awaiting additional units. A short time later, two individuals returned to the vehicle and were met with a felony stop instead of a grocery run.

Both occupants were safely detained without incident. After investigators from the requesting agency arrived, one occupant was positively identified as the armed robbery suspect and taken into custody. The vehicle was turned over to the investigating agency as part of their case.

A license plate believed to be connected to the investigation was also recovered from inside the vehicle and secured as evidence.

One occupant was released at the scene, while the armed robbery suspect continued his trip in a police vehicle instead.

Great teamwork by multiple agencies helped bring the incident to a safe conclusion without injury to officers or the public.

▪️Officers responded to a tanning salon after employees became concerned when a customer spent well over an hour locked inside a tanning room and wasn't responding to repeated attempts to get her attention.

After receiving permission from the business owner, officers made an unplanned "door opening" and discovered the woman unconscious inside the tanning bed. Thankfully, she was awakened and found to be okay.

The investigation quickly shifted from tanning to narcotics when the woman admitted to taking substances before her visit. A search of her belongings uncovered multiple packets of suspected fentanyl, drug paraphernalia, and a prescription medication she was not authorized to possess.

She was arrested and lodged at the Wyandotte Police Department. Testing later confirmed the presence of fentanyl.

A reminder that tanning sessions are measured in minutes, not hours—and if your trip to the tanning salon ends with officers kicking open the door, it's probably time to reevaluate the day's decisions.

▪️Officers conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for equipment violations and quickly discovered the driver was not interested in keeping the encounter simple.

After finally stopping, the driver appeared extremely nervous and was repeatedly ordered to place the vehicle in park. Instead, he shifted into reverse and then attempted to reach into his jacket while exiting the vehicle.

Unfortunately for him, officers were much more interested in what was in that pocket than he was.

The driver actively resisted officers' attempts to detain him, resulting in a brief struggle before he was safely taken into custody. The mystery item he was so determined to reach turned out to be a throwing knife concealed inside his jacket.

He was arrested and charged with Resisting & Obstructing Police, Possession of a Dangerous Weapon, and Unsafe Vehicle Equipment.

As it turns out, reaching for a concealed throwing knife during a traffic stop is one of the few ways to guarantee your night gets significantly more complicated.

▪️Officers were dispatched to a report of a man passed out near the roadway with his legs extending into traffic.

Upon arrival, officers located the individual exactly where dispatch said he would be. When asked where he was coming from, his answers ranged from "going to Eureka" to "coming from Dollar General," which did little to clear things up.

The man displayed obvious signs of intoxication, had difficulty standing without assistance, and denied consuming any alcohol despite evidence suggesting otherwise. Due to his condition and concern for his safety, he was taken into protective custody and transported to the police department.

A records check revealed this was not his first public intoxication arrest in Wyandotte.

The evening serves as a reminder that if your night ends with you using a roadway as a recliner, it may be time to call it a night a little earlier.

▪️Our School Resource Officers helped with the first-ever organized Rollin’ to School event at Washington Elementary. Students rode their bikes and scooters to school alongside a police es**rt while learning important bicycle safety tips. Events like these help promote safe and responsible riding habits while building positive connections with our youngest community members.

Officers also participated in a Drive-Thru Summer Literacy Event at RHS, where families received books and educational materials to help keep students reading and learning throughout the summer months.

In addition, one of our officers provided Surviving Violent Critical Incidents training for employees at a large local business. If your business, organization, or community group is interested in hosting similar training, please contact the Wyandotte Police Department for more information.

We are proud to support our community both in and out of uniform through education, outreach, and safety initiatives.

We always enjoy opportunities to connect with the community outside of calls for service. Whether it’s helping kids ride safely to school, encouraging summer reading, or sharing important safety information, these moments are just as important to us. Thanks for being such a great community to serve, and we hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

🚔 Wyandotte Police Department Weekly Recap🚔

Another busy week for our officers as they continued proactive patrols, assisted neighboring agencies, and responded to a variety of calls throughout the city. From traffic stops and narcotics arrests to rendering emergency medical aid during a critical incident, officers remained committed to keeping the community safe while handling each situation professionally.
Here’s a look at some notable incidents from this past week:

🚓While patrolling near Fort and Oak, officers conducted a traffic stop that turned into a little more than a routine conversation. During the investigation, the driver was asked to step out of the vehicle, where officers located a large knife on their person.

As the investigation continued, officers also discovered an unmarked prescription bottle containing an assortment of pills inside the vehicle. The driver was subsequently arrested for possession of narcotics, driving while suspended, and expired plates.

🚓Officers responded to assist a neighboring police agency on a reported shots fired incident. Upon arrival, officers located a victim suffering from injuries and immediately provided emergency aid by applying a tourniquet until medical personnel arrived.

The victim was then transported to a local hospital for treatment.

Great teamwork and quick action helped provide critical care during a dangerous situation.

🚓While patrolling near Fort and Walnut, an officer observed a male walking through an alley behind a closed business late at night. When contacted, the male stated he was heading to a friend’s house… but unfortunately couldn’t provide the address, street name, or apparently any helpful directions.

During the investigation, officers located a controlled substance on the male. He was issued a citation for possession of narcotics and released on scene.

🚓Officers responded to the 500 block of St. Johns for reports of a disorderly person. Upon arrival, officers located a female sitting on a front porch who appeared to have mistaken the residence for an afterparty invitation.

While speaking with the female, officers detected a strong odor of intoxicants coming from her person, and she was unable to answer basic questions. The homeowner advised officers they did not know the female and had no idea how she ended up at the residence.

The female was arrested for public intoxication after becoming increasingly uncooperative.

🚓While near Biddle and Emmons, officers conducted a traffic stop and quickly realized the driver had definitely been participating in some “liquid courage.” After detecting a strong odor of intoxicants, officers conducted field sobriety tests and a PBT, which showed the driver was blowing more than double the legal limit.

The driver was arrested for Operating While Intoxicated and transported to Wyandotte PD.

05/26/2026

On May 22ND, our officers were involved in two more high-speed pursuits. While watching these videos, I pose these rhetorical questions:

"Do the drivers in these videos need a metaphorical slap on the wrist, or do they deserve real consequences?"

"If there were real consequences for their actions, would they be more likely or less likely to endanger & victimize others?"

"Would real consequences (House Bill 4690) for fleeing in a vehicle positively or negatively impact public safety?"

Incident 1 occurred @ 1:19 AM: The person fleeing from the police has been previously arrested for Fleeing & Eluding three times, making this his 4TH arrest for this crime.

Incident 2 occurred @ 2:35 AM: The vehicle being pursued by our officers contained 4-men wearing ski-masks. In the second video, the officers pursued the suspects into a large commercial parking lot where they momentarily lost sight of them. The police vehicle was disabled during the crash and the suspects escaped.

05/22/2026

Happy Friday everybody! It’s that time of the week again. While most people were out working or sleeping, our officers were out collecting stories for this week’s update. Here’s a look at what kept our officers busy:

▪️Officers stopped a Jeep Liberty around 4:00 AM after noticing an unreadable paper plate and an unregistered license plate — never a great combination.

The driver immediately became hostile while the passenger appeared unbelievably nervous and provided a fake name.

A K-9 officer arrived and the dog quickly indicated on the vehicle. When officers finally got the driver out of the Jeep, a bag of suspected methamphetamine fell directly out of his pants leg onto the ground, which investigators described as “making the case way easier.”

The passenger’s real ID was later found in his belongings, bringing the fake identity experiment to a quick end.

Both subjects were arrested and lodged at the Wyandotte Police Department Jail.

▪️Two sport bikes caught an officer’s attention near Ford and Fort after one appeared to be rocking the “invisible plate” package upgrade. When the lights came on, the black bike peeled off into a parking lot while the other bike chose the “Fast & Furious” route instead.

The fleeing suspect blasted down Northline and Dix at speeds around 80 mph, allegedly treating multiple red lights as gentle suggestions before disappearing toward I-75. Pursuit was eventually terminated.

Officers later tracked down the rider’s buddy, who identified the suspect by an alias — apparently a man operating on single-name celebrity status. Investigators learned the suspect had allegedly bragged about fleeing police the night before as well. Social media posts featuring the same motorcycle and matching riding gear helped point investigators in the right direction.

The following day, officers spotted a vehicle connected to the investigation and conducted a traffic stop after noticing a tinted plate cover. Inside the vehicle, officers reportedly found motorcycle gear matching the previous night’s rider, including helmets, riding boots, and a key tied to the same sport bike.

Additional camera footage later showed a rider wearing gear nearly identical to the items recovered during the stop.

The investigation remains ongoing. Moral of the story: if you’re going to run from the police, maybe don’t post the bike on social media afterward.

▪️Officers stopped a Chevrolet Trailblazer after observing an obstructed rearview mirror and a license plate cover that made the plate difficult to read.

During the stop, the passenger confidently provided a false name and assured officers he had “never been in trouble.” Unfortunately, LEIN’s response was essentially, “That person does not exist.”

As the conversation continued, the passenger became increasingly nervous, scrambled his words, over explained nearly everything, and eventually admitted his real identity after learning officers were not buying the bargain-bin fake alias.

Once officers learned his actual identity, LEIN revealed multiple active warrants — proving honesty really would have saved everyone some time.

A search of the vehicle led to the discovery of a backpack containing hypodermic needles and suspected fentanyl. In an effort investigators greatly appreciated, the passenger also identified personal belongings inside the same backpack as his, essentially completing the ownership paperwork voluntarily.

Both occupants were arrested and transported to the Wyandotte Police Department Jail. The suspected fentanyl later tested positive and all evidence was secured.

▪️Officers on patrol spotted a Subaru on Fort Street displaying what could best be described as “vintage” registration tags — expired for well over a year.

After emergency lights were activated, the driver continued cruising for a short distance before eventually pulling into a restaurant parking lot. Upon contact, officers observed the driver making furtive movements around his lap and waistband area while pretending the traffic stop wasn’t happening.

During the investigation, officers located Suboxone in the driver’s pocket along with a small pharmacy worth of assorted pills inside the vehicle. Officers also discovered the driver’s license had been revoked, meaning he was not supposed to be driving in the first place.

The driver was arrested and transported to jail, while the Subaru was sent off on its own journey via tow truck. Moral of the story: expired plates are usually a bad way to stay under the radar.

▪️Officers operating a marked patrol unit equipped with a Grappler Police Bumper assisted a neighboring agency in a high-speed pursuit involving a black sedan displaying a temporary-style plate.

The suspect vehicle fled southbound Fort Street at speeds approaching 100 mph, at times disregarding traffic signals and continuing attempts to evade police. After receiving approval to assist, officers engaged in the pursuit with a focus on deploying the Grappler system.

Once in position, officers deployed the Grappler Police Bumper, successfully launching the capture net onto the suspect vehicle’s rear tire assembly. The device immediately secured the tire and allowed officers to take control of the pursuit, bringing the fleeing vehicle to a safe, controlled stop without further danger to the public and an extended chase.

After the successful Grappler deployment, the vehicle was disabled. Officers then removed the driver from the vehicle and took him into custody without further incident. The subject was turned over to the requesting agency.

No injuries were reported. The Grappler Police Bumper again proved effective in safely ending a high-speed pursuit with precision and control.

🇺🇸As Memorial Day weekend approaches, we’re reminding everyone to celebrate responsibly, stay safe, and make smart decisions. Our officers will be out all weekend working to keep everyone safe and hopefully keep next week’s blotter a short one. Most importantly, remember the reason for the holiday and take a moment to thank a veteran and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

🚨🚔Here’s a quick look at some recent calls handled by officers on patrol and during dispatch. This week’s highlights include traffic stops, impaired drivers, missing common sense, and a few cases where the facts and the stories told were not exactly on speaking terms. Officers stayed professional throughout while navigating a steady mix of routine enforcement, unexpected twists, and the occasional attempt to rewrite reality in real time 🚨🚔

🚨While an officer was in the area of Fort and Oak, they observed a vehicle and initiated a traffic stop. The vehicle pulled over without incident — always nice when at least one person involved makes a good decision that night.
Contact was made with the driver, who was advised of the reason for the stop.

The driver consented to a search of the vehicle and her person, likely recognizing that arguing with reality was not going to improve the situation.

During a search of the driver’s front sweatshirt pocket, the officer located a white oval pill. When asked what the pill was, the driver stated it “could be a Norco,” displaying the kind of pharmaceutical uncertainty commonly found in people carrying loose pills without prescriptions.

The driver was issued a citation for possession of narcotics and released from the scene to continue making completely avoidable life choices elsewhere.

🚨While an officer was patrolling in the area of Fort and Pine, they conducted a traffic stop near Fort and Goddard. Upon making contact with the driver, the officer was immediately met with the strong odor of intoxicants coming from inside the vehicle — apparently the driver skipped the part where you’re supposed to hide the evidence.

The driver was asked to step out of the vehicle. While speaking with the driver, the officer observed slurred speech and glossy eyes, which paired nicely with the overwhelming smell of bad decisions.

The driver completed field sobriety tests and submitted to a PBT, ultimately blowing double the legal limit — really committing to the “go big or go home” philosophy.

The driver was subsequently arrested for Operating While Intoxicated and transported for further processing and reflection on life choices.

🚨While an officer was patrolling the area of Fort and Eureka, they conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle. Upon making contact with the driver, the officer was met with a strong odor of intoxicants coming from inside the vehicle — a solid indicator the evening was already heading in the wrong direction.

During conversation with the officer, the driver stated they believed they were on Telegraph instead of Fort, which did little to improve confidence in their driving abilities or overall awareness of reality.

The officer also observed an alcoholic beverage sitting conveniently in the center console cup holder, because apparently subtlety had already left the building.

The driver was asked to step out of the vehicle to perform field sobriety tests and a PBT. The driver ultimately blew double the legal limit, showing a level of commitment usually reserved for overachievers.

The driver was subsequently arrested for Operating While Intoxicated and transported to Wyandotte PD to continue the evening in a significantly less enjoyable environment.

🚨Officers were dispatched to the 3800 block of Fort regarding a larceny complaint. Prior to the theft being discovered, a male had been pacing around the building claiming he was looking for his girlfriend — because apparently wandering around suspiciously is now considered a search method.

The male was eventually asked to leave. A short time later, a female arrived and began banging on the glass doors before also leaving, adding just the right amount of unnecessary drama to the situation.

After both individuals left the area, a citizen discovered their bag, containing a wallet, was missing. Thankfully, the suspects apparently subscribed to the “commit crimes within walking distance” strategy.

A short time later, officers located both the male and female down the street, where the stolen property was recovered. The property was returned to the owner, and the male was arrested for larceny after an otherwise spectacularly unsuccessful criminal adventure.

🚨Officers were dispatched to the 4200 block of 17th St for a report of a disorderly subject yelling while walking down the street. Dispatch advised responding units that the subject involved was reportedly causing a disturbance in the area.

Upon arrival, officers made contact with witnesses who confirmed the subject had been loudly yelling in public.

Officers observed the subject on a nearby porch and requested she come to the sidewalk, which she did.

When asked what was going on, the subject stated she had been walking south on 17th Stwhen neighbors began yelling profanities at her. She initially claimed she had just come from Meijer and was dropping off groceries; however, no groceries were observed. When asked about them, she stated she did not actually purchase any.

The subject then provided a different account, stating she had instead been filling out a job application at a local business which was already closed for the night.

When asked why she was in the area, the subject stated she needed a phone. Her explanation continued to change and was not consistent.

The subject again began yelling at neighbors, at which point officers placed her under arrest for Disorderly Conduct.

Today, the founder of the LUCAS Foundation, Bryan Sizemore, visited our police department with Deputy Chief Andrew Starzec (Brownstown). They dropped off snacks and some encouragement for our officers. This is a great Foundation! Pictured below is Bryan Sizemore with Officer Josilyn Guzman.

The LUCAS Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides access to su***de prevention, specifically targeting our American law enforcement officers.

Happy Friday everyone! This week’s installment is a lengthy one so we’ll get right into it:

▪️Wyandotte officers assisted during a pursuit involving a shirtless driver in a black Ford F-150 who apparently decided traffic stops were optional.

After entering the city at a high rate of speed, the driver continued fleeing northbound through a busy area near downtown while officers worked to safely stop the pursuit before school traffic and families became part of the situation.

The pursuit came to an abrupt end when officers successfully deployed a Grappler device, snagging the truck’s rear tire and turning the getaway into an involuntary parking job.

The driver exited and was taken into custody without further incident.

During the inventory search, officers located suspected narcotics paraphernalia inside the truck, including a glass pipe and residue-containing packaging.

The vehicle was impounded and the driver was lodged pending charges.

▪️Officers attempted to stop a Ford Fusion for traffic violations, including failing to signal and an obstructed license plate.

The driver initially chose the “slow roll and think about it” approach before fully committing to the much worse decision of fleeing.

What followed was a reckless drive through multiple roads, school zones, apartment complexes, and red lights, with speeds reaching nearly 80 mph. At one point, the driver tore through a school zone near at more than double the speed limit.

The pursuit finally ended when the driver crashed directly into the lobby doors of an apartment building — apparently mistaking the entrance for a drive-thru — before bailing out on foot.

After a short foot chase and a brief wrestling match with officers, the suspect was introduced to the department-issued “electric attitude adjustment device,” which quickly convinced him the chase was over.

The driver was taken into custody, the vehicle was impounded, and charges are pending.

▪️Officers stopped a Ford Ta**us for several traffic violations, including a windshield crack large enough to qualify as a second field of vision and a rearview mirror doubling as storage space.

The vehicle was initially a little hesitant to stop, finally pulling over after officers added sirens to the conversation.

Upon contact, officers immediately detected a strong odor of alcohol coming from both the driver and the vehicle. In plain view on the passenger seat were several empty Pink Whitney shooters and a small empty champagne bottle — essentially the world’s least convincing attempt to hide evidence.

When asked how much she had to drink, the driver responded, “not much,” later clarifying that it was “not enough to not get me home,” which unfortunately is not recognized as a legal measurement.

Standardized Field Sobriety Tests were conducted, where the driver displayed several signs of impairment, including swaying, hopping, missing heel-to-toe steps, and briefly deciding the One Leg Stand test would go better barefoot.

When offered a preliminary breath test, the driver attempted some last-minute negotiation tactics before ultimately refusing.

She was arrested for OWI and later provided breath samples at the jail registering over twice the legal limit.

The driver was lodged pending charges and the vehicle was impounded.

▪️Officers stopped a gray BMW after discovering the vehicle’s insurance had expired and the plate status was flagged as invalid — which is rarely a great way to begin a traffic stop.

The driver insisted everything was current and in order. Unfortunately, LEIN had a very different opinion.

While preparing the vehicle for impound, officers were informed there was a firearm inside. A .45 caliber handgun was located in the center console, with a loaded magazine directly under the driver’s seat — basically the “easy access package.”

When asked if he had a CPL, the driver explained he was “waiting for it in the mail,” which officers confirmed is not the same thing as actually having one.

Further investigation revealed the firearm was not registered to the driver, despite several other fi****ms being registered in his name. Apparently this one missed the paperwork meeting.

Things continued going downhill at the jail when officers inventoried the driver’s wallet and located a folded baggie containing suspected co***ne tucked inside an inner pocket — proving once again that wallets should generally contain things like IDs and receipts, not felony charges.

The driver was arrested on several charges including CCW and Possession of Controlled Substance.

▪️Officers stopped a Ford Edge after the driver made a sudden turn that looked less like normal driving and more like someone trying to pretend police cars don’t exist.

During contact, the driver immediately apologized for his driving and explained the sudden turn was his passenger’s idea. Unfortunately, the explanation only got shakier from there.

Officers recognized the passenger from a prior narcotics-related incident, while the driver appeared extremely nervous, spoke rapidly, sweated heavily, and treated the center console like it contained state secrets.

After a search, officers located multiple Suboxone packages on the driver, along with several small baggies containing co***ne residue hidden throughout the vehicle and tucked inside the driver’s wallet. A cut straw with co***ne residue was also found, completing the narcotics starter kit.

The passenger was searched by a female officer and released without charges.

The driver was arrested for Possession of Narcotics and Drug Paraphernalia. The vehicle was impounded and the evidence later tested positive for co***ne.

▪️Wyandotte officers responded to a business in the 2900 block of Fort Street for a report of a young child left crying in a vehicle and quickly discovered far more going on than expected.

Inside the Dodge Journey were three adults, two small children, an open bottle of tequila, and a driver showing obvious signs of intoxication. One child was sitting unrestrained on a passenger’s lap, and there were no child seats in the vehicle.

The driver agreed to sobriety testing and collected clues across every test before blowing over twice the legal limit.

Further investigation revealed the driver’s license was suspended, the registration was expired, the plate was fraudulently obtained, and the vehicle had no insurance.

The driver was arrested for Operating While Intoxicated, Driving While License Suspended, OWI with a Minor Under 16 in the Vehicle.

The passengers were cited for open intoxicants and child restraint violations. The vehicle was impounded and the tequila bottle was emptied — finally making it the most responsible thing in the car.

🚨 On May 5th, Wyandotte officers responded to two serious incidents that we would like the public to be aware of. While unrelated, both incidents involved dangerous and criminal behavior that required immediate police response.

▪️ On May 5th, just before 8:00 PM, Wyandotte officers responded to an attempted robbery at a retail store in the 3900 block of Fort Street.

An adult male entered the business and demanded money from employees. Before obtaining any cash or merchandise, the suspect fled the scene on foot.

The incident remains under investigation. Anyone who recognizes the individual involved (see attached photos) or has information related to this incident is asked to contact the Wyandotte Police Department at 734-324-4405 (Option 4).

▪️ On May 5th, just after 5:00 PM, Wyandotte officers responded to the 4200 block of 19th Street regarding a disturbance involving gunfire.

Upon arrival, officers took a 57-year-old male into custody following a struggle.

The investigation revealed the suspect attempted to force entry into a residence by kicking in a door and smashing several windows while threatening to kill the occupant inside. During the incident, the homeowner discharged a firearm in self-defense.

The suspect was not struck by gunfire but did sustain injuries during the incident that required medical treatment.

The suspect was arrested and the investigation remains ongoing.
