Detroit: CBP Arrests Man On Murder Warrant At Ambassador Bridge

By Leave a Comment

DETROIT – U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at Ambassador Bridge arrested a man wanted for homicide after he attempted to enter Canada on March 24, 2017.

CBP officers encountered a car bearing North Carolina license plates at the Ambassador Bridge after returning from Canada around 4am.

The female driver and male passenger, both U.S. citizens, claimed they did not intend to go to Canada and were refused entry because the male did not have any identification documents.

A CBP secondary inspection, including fingerprint verification, revealed the male traveler, identified as 26 year old Jerome Jones, was the subject of an arrest warrant for first degree murder out of Cumberland County, NC.

“CBP Officers went the extra mile to identify the subject of a murder warrant.” said Port Director Roderick Blanchard. “Our vigilance and attention to detail helps keep our communities safe.”

Jones was arrested and transported to Wayne County Jail to await extradition.

Jones is wanted for the murder of 34-year-old Jason McKnight in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Criminal charges are merely allegations. All defendants in criminal proceedings are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Detroit Police: 10 Year Old Shoots 14 Year Brother With Shotgun, 9th Precinct

14 Year Old Shot By 10 Year Old In East Detroit

Detroit’s East Side – 9th Precinct: Detroit Police say a 10 year old shot a 14 year old with a shotgun at around 7:15PM Monday evening on Pfent St.

Upon arrival, Detroit Police scouts confirmed the shooting and ordered Detroit EMS to the scene. Detroit Fire’s Engine 60 and DEMS Medic 15 were dispatched to the scene. The 14 year old is in critical condition at a local hospital.

This is yet another case of a firearm being left unattended and not secured by an adult. If history is to repeat itself, Detroit Police Chief Craig will throw the book at the offending adult.

It doesn’t take a lot of effort or money to secure a weapon where children might be present. Weapon locks are cheap and are sold with firearms purchased in the State of Michigan. You don’t have to have children in your home full time to find yourself at odds with the law. If there’s a weapon in your house and children are present, it needs to be secure.

Children being shot by other children isn’t uncommon in Detroit, unfortunately.

And so it goes….
