DPD Police Unit Boosted From Boost Mobile Store

Detroit’s East Side: It all started around 6:30pm, a Neighborhood Police Officer, or NPO for short, was off duty and on her way home when she stopped at the Boost Mobile Store @ 7451 Gratiot to pay a cell bill.

Reports indicate the Detroit Police Officer, a Sergeant, left the vehicle running while she popped into the Boost Mobile Store, because who the hell is going to snatch a marked police car, right?

Well, a rather desperate black male in a black hoodie decided to do just that and took the DPD unit for a short jaunt through the mean streets of Detroit’s east side.

The shocked officer notified dispatch that she last saw her police unit travelling southbound on Gratiot towards downtown Detroit. It’s unknown if a foot chase was involved, unlikely though.

The officer advised dispatch her weapon and ID were in her possession and not in the stolen unit.

Fortunately, a 7th Precinct unit spotted the stolen cruiser at Kercheval & Van Dyke. At the same time, the eagle like eyes of Crime Intel, or the Green Light Bat Cave the DPD uses to monitor Green Light Locations in Detroit, also spotted the errant police car.

A pair of 7th Precinct units then took the bad guy into custody at Kercheval & Van Dyke, saving further embarrassment to an already embarrassed police department.

The DPD has been dealing with drunken command staff, drunken officers sporting weapons in bars outside the city and a couple of their officer’s displaying incredibly poor judgement when they posted a questionable citizen contact on a social media platform.

It’s been a trying week for the Detroit Police Department.

Below is dispatch audio from the incident.

Dispatch Audio: Cops Exchange Rounds With Bad Guys On Detroit’s East Side

January 25, 2019 By Motor City 911

Bang Bang, Bang Bang Bang

Detroit’s East Side: Detroit Police on the east side exchanged gunfire with a couple of bozos in the rear parking lot/security booth of Tycoon’s Executive Club, (Featuring the World’s Finest Showgirls) @ 12210 East 8 Mile Road/Dresden early Friday morning.

Thankfully, no one was hit during the exchange but officers took 2 into custody and recovered the firearm used by the two knuckleheads.

At that time of the morning, around 2:11am, DPD units were working a number of shots fired calls, mainly west of the Tycoon’s incident. The particulars of the shooting are being kept quiet and a call of inquiry to the DPD was met with “If you call us again, we’re calling the police”…..so, the dispatch audio is all you’re going to get.

DPD evidence techs were dispatched to process the scene before the evidence was buried by snowfall.

The audio picks up when the dispatcher acknowledges the “Shots Fired” call by the officers involved.

Dispatch Audio: 3 Year Old Shot On Detroit Freeway

January 25, 2019 By Motor City 911

3 Year Old Boy Dies From Wounds

Vehicle Recovered/Suspect In Custody

Video Of Wanted Vehicle

Edit 11:06am Friday: Corrected relationship of driver to child, condition of child and a description of the suspect.

Detroit’s West Side: Shots rang out on one of Detroit’s west side freeways Thursday evening. At around 7:00PM, a Godmother and her 3 year old godson were travelling northbound on the M-39, or Southfield Freeway, when someone in another vehicle fired an unknown number of rounds into their vehicle.

According to dispatch tapes, the shooting occurred in the northbound lanes between Joy Rd and Plymouth.

The 3 year old boy was seated in the rear of the Dodge Journey and secured inside a child’s safety seat. He was struck in the left side by at least 1 bullet. The godmother was uninjured.

With her child bleeding in the rear seat, the victims godmother drove to Plymouth Road and exited, driving in the BP Gas Station @ 17707 Plymouth Rd where authorities were notified.

Detroit EMS Medic 25 was dispatched with officer’s from the Detroit Police’s 6th Precinct.

DEMS Medic 25 conveyed the child, who wasn’t breathing at the time, to Sinai-Grace Hospital, while 6th Precinct scouts blocked streets on its route.

According to dispatch tapes, the Medics of M25 were working to secure an airway on the child and their efforts were obviously rewarded. The child, although in critical condition, is alive and in the hands of medical personnel.

Unfortunately, the child died at Children’s Hospital on Friday morning.

Detroit Police are focusing their attention on images gathered by the BP Gas Stations ‘Green Light’ security cameras. Those images suggest the suspects vehicle is either a white or silver newer model 2 door coupe, possibly a BMW or a Mercedes Benz.

Michigan State Police described the driver of that vehicle as a “light skinned male with a full beard”.

The northbound lanes of the M-39 between Joy Rd & the I-96 remained closed late into the evening while investigators processed the scene.

Dispatch Audio: Shots Fired! Shots Fired! Saginaw Township Cop Shooter Taken Down In Shiawassee County

January 22, 2019 By Motor City 911

Tuscola County Skidmark Shot

Shiawassee County, Mi: The queef wanted in the shooting of a Saginaw Township police officer was taken down following a brief pursuit and short exchange of gunfire with Shiawassee County law enforcement. 29 year old Joshua Michael Rosebush of Vassar, took at least 1 round during that exchange of gunfire on Woodbury Rd in Laingsburg, Mi. He was taken by EMS, leaking, to Sparrow Clinton Hospital in St Johns, Mi….not Laingsburg Animal Hospital as originally thought.

No officers were injured during the takedown.

Earlier Tuesday morning at around 2:00AM, the Saginaw Township officer, identified as Officer Jeff Koenig, a 16 year veteran, was shot twice during a traffic stop at Tittabawassee & Bay Road in Saginaw Township. Officer Koenig was approaching the vehicle when Rosebush started shooting.

The officer was able to radio dispatch that he had been shot and units from multiple jurisdictions responded. He was conveyed to a local hospital with GSW’s to his right arm and chin. Reports indicate he’s in stable condition, thankfully.

Audio from that incident will not be posted.

Rosebush is a piece of work, with 2 prior assaults on police officers in 2012 & 2016, multiple charges of credit card theft and was also being sought by Vassar Police for multiple vehicle break-ins. He also absconded from parole on the 3rd of January 2109 by cutting off his tether/leash.

His condition is unknown, but then, no one cares, outside of his immediate family, maybe.
