Detroit: Peaceful and relaxing feelings were shattered at the House of Zen Marijuana Dispensary yesterday.
Two armed bad guys met two armed security guards at the House of Zen on Detroit’s east side Saturday afternoon, 24 November 2018. The marijuana dispensary at 14501 Mack (5th DPD Precinct) saw the 2 groups exchanging gunfire at around 5:44PM. Detroit Police received information that one of the security guards had been shot.
Further investigation by units on the scene revealed the guard had GSW’s to the arm and chest. He survived. The second security guard exchanged gunfire with the two bad guys, it’s unknown if the second guards shots took effect on the bad guys and the guard walked away unharmed, very Zen.
The shooting occurred outside of the dispensary when the guards observed two suspicious characters, 1 guard approached the suspects and the other guard stood safely at the dispensary’s door. Shots were exchanged between the bad guys and guard who approached the suspects. The wounded guard was standing at the dispensary’s door, not Zen.
The suspects escaped the scene in an older model two-toned Chevrolet Silverado, described as having black lower panels and beige upper panels. No description of the suspects were given. Suspects were last seen driving north on Marlborough St.
Those peaceful and easy feelings are slowly returning to the House of Zen.
Any information on the suspects, drop a dime and call the Detroit Police.

December 29 2017
Detroit East Side – 650AM: Two men were electrocuted after coming in contact with a high voltage power line early Friday morning.
Detroit Police say the 2 men broke into a Detroit Public Lighting Authority substation at 6610 Raymond Ave and were electrocuted in what appears to be an attempted copper wiring theft.
04:00AM: Power was cut from the neighboring community when the fatal “pzzzzzzt zzaaap” occurred.
Unknown Time: Responding public lighting employees found the 2 bodies.
0650AM: Detroit EMS & Detroit Fire were dispatched to the scene on reports of 1 down.
07:00AM: Detroit Police units from the 7th Precinct were told 1 person was down at the substation on Raymond and dispatched to the scene. The dispatch was revised and units responding were told 2 were down and they were DOS (Dead on Scene).
In a shocking turn of events, the 24,000 volt line was powerful enough to “fuse” the 2 bodies together.
Homicide investigators were also dispatched to the scene.
Scrapping is a serious problem in Detroit with copper prices hovering around $2.50 per pound.
In 2012 a 34 year old man was killed after climbing a utility pole in an attempt to steal $50.00 worth of copper wiring from a transformer.
In that incident on Detroit’s west side, authorities believe the dead man was with others in the theft attempt.
Those accomplices bailed following the electrocution and left the man hanging dead from the utility pole.
Video below is from the 2012 incident.
