Detroit: A pregnant woman was rescued by the Detroit Police, USCG & Detroit Fire Department from the waters of the Detroit River Monday night.

Detroit police officers of the 4th Precinct in southwest Detroit were flagged down by passerby’s and told a woman was in the water near Riverside Park, just south of the Ambassador Bridge.

Auburn Hills, Michigan – March 30 2017: Auburn Hills Police Department has released dashcam footage of Detroit Piston’s Kentavious Caldwell-Pope’s DUI arrest on March 30, 2017.

The arrest at 02:50AM followed the Detroit Piston’s loss to the Miami Heat on the evening of March 29, 2017.

When he was stopped by Auburn Hills police early Wednesday morning, Pistons guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope said he had had two drinks and water.

He was driving his Jeep Wrangler and at about 2:52 a.m., an officer observed him going 45 mph in a 25 mph zone on Auburn Road near Squirrel Road in Auburn Hills. After the officer pulled the car over, he reported “a strong odor of intoxicants emitted from the interior” and that Caldwell-Pope’s eyes “were very glossy and his breath smelled of intoxicants.”

That was the beginning of an arrest for Caldwell-Pope, 24, on a charge of operating while intoxicated (OWI), according to the police report, obtained by The Detroit News through a Freedom of Information Act request.

The arrest came just hours after the Pistons lost to the Miami Heat on a last-second shot, on Tuesday night at The Palace.

The police report indicates that Caldwell-Pope told officers he had two Hennessy cognac drinks, along with water and the last drink was at 2 a.m., almost an hour before he was stopped. The officer requested that Caldwell-Pope take a field sobriety tests, which included walking and turning, standing on one leg, reciting the alphabet and counting backwards.

The report noted that Caldwell-Pope did not pass all of the tests:

■ He did not walk heel-to-toe on multiple steps walking forward and stopped and restarted during the test.

■ He counted incorrectly while standing on one leg and did not have his foot the required height from the ground.

■ He was instructed to say the alphabet from “B” to “N” and continued past “N,” almost to the end.

■ He was asked to count backwards from 86 to 69 and missed one number, but ended at the correct number.

Caldwell-Pope submitted to a Breathalyzer test at the scene, which yielded a result of 0.098% blood alcohol content (BAC).

The MSP troopers announced over the units loudspeaker for the driver to remove his foot from the brake when the vehicle left the scene at a high rate of speed.
