DETROIT POLICE: 2:45am Wednesday –  A Detroit Police pursuit ended when the suspects vehicle slammed into a tree early this morning on the east side of Detroit. The pursuit resulted from a shots fired/domestic call on the east side of Detroit.

A Detroit Police Scout from the 11th Precinct responded to Gable & Charles and observed the suspect in a white Pontiac Grand Prix leaving the area. The officers advised dispatch that the suspect was waving a gun when observed.

The pursuit wound through streets in the 11th Precinct at high and slow rates of speed,  eventually coming to an end in the 7th Precinct on French Rd just south of Shoemaker.

The pursuing officers advised the suspects vehicle “was throwing sparks” and that the vehicle may have a blown tire. The vehicle hit a tree in front of an abandoned school and the front and rear sections of the vehicle separated, resulting in a fire. Detroit Fire & Detroit EMS were requested by the pursuing DPD officers.

DPD officers immediately checked to see if there were any injuries and at first were unable to locate the suspect. A search of the area found that the suspect had been ejected from the vehicle, suffering a “dismemberment”. The DPD officer described the injuries as a K-Type (Fatal).

In addition to the primary 11th Precinct scout car, you can hear units from the 7th Precinct responding and making the scene of the accident as well.

At one point during the pursuit the suspect may have tossed a handgun and officers performed an “extensive search”. It’s unknown if that weapon has been recovered. The pursuit was being monitored by Detroit Police supervisors.

UPDATE: Suspect in the police pursuit has been named as 25-year-old, Johnathon Miller.

Michigan State Police Helicopter Trooper 2 Lased In Flint

Freeland, Mich.(WSMH) via NBC25— Laser pointers may work well in the boardroom, but could cause a deadly situation in the skies if one is pointed at an aircraft’s cockpit.

Michigan State Police Helicopter Pilot Sargent Don Zinz was piloting his Trooper 2 helicopter over Flint on the night of October 11.

He says his aircraft was hit at least 10 times by a man pointing a green laser into the sky.

Zinz says the laser could cause significant problems as he’s trying to safely fly.

“It can really incapacitate you. It can cause a burning feeling and itching feeling in your eyes. Worst case scenario is that it blinds you, and we end up crashing,” Zinz says.

Pointing a laser at an aircraft is considered a felony in federal court. The Federal Aviation Administration can also sue a suspect in civil court for thousands of dollars.

The person responsible for the event that evening was taken into custody by the Michigan State Police, but later released.

He’s expecting to be charged in Federal court in the near future.

“If these people think it’s just clowning around but it could be potentially deadly,” Zinz says.
