24-year-old Dominque Dendy of Flint Arrested

GENESEE COUNTY, MI — A Michigan State Police trooper was injured early January 17 after being dragged by a fleeing vehicle during a traffic stop in the City of Flint.

At approximately 2:15 a.m., troopers from the MSP Flint Post initiated a traffic stop near Grand Traverse Street and 6th Street for a traffic violation. Troopers made contact with two occupants inside the vehicle. The driver refused to provide identification and ignored repeated commands to exit the vehicle.

As a trooper attempted to remove the driver, the suspect put the vehicle in drive and accelerated. The trooper’s arm became wedged inside the vehicle, and he was dragged a short distance before freeing himself. The suspect fled the scene.

The trooper was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Following further investigation, the driver was identified as 24-year-old Dominque Dendy of Flint. On January 20, Dendy was arrested by the MSP Third District Fugitive Team and lodged at the Genesee County Jail without incident.

Dendy was arraigned January 21 in 67th District Court on the following charges:

Assault/Resist/Obstruct a Police Officer Causing Injury
Fleeing and Eluding Police, Third Degree

His next court appearance is scheduled for January 29 at 8:30 a.m.

“This incident highlights the dangers troopers face daily,” said MSP Lieutenant Miller. “We are thankful the trooper sustained only minor injuries.”
