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).

Shooting suspect killed during deputy-involved shooting

By

LIVINGSTON PARISH, LA (WAFB) – A man died after he allegedly exchanged gunfire with a Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Deputy, officials confirm. Troopers with the Louisiana State Police are investigating the shooting. They say the suspect, Blaine Justin Beason, 31, was shot by a deputy at roughly 11 a.m. near a home on Springwood Dr. near 4-H Club Rd.

“Upon looking through the barn, the deputy climbed up into the second story loft,” explains Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard. “That is when he encountered Beason who was pointing a weapon at my deputy. My deputy, in defense, fired and fatally wounded Beason.”

Deputies were searching for Beason after he was involved in another alleged gunfight with deputies that happened at roughly 1 a.m.

 

UPDATE: New details on incident on Springwood Drive in Denham Springs.

Posted by Scottie Hunter WAFB on Wednesday, October 12, 2016

 

Officials with the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office say a deputy attempted to conduct a traffic stop after seeing a vehicle without a license plate. The car was traveling on Home Depot Dr. in Denham Springs.

“The deputy then attempted to stop the vehicle,” explains Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard. “Once emergency lights were activated, the driver of the SUV fled at a high rate of speed. The deputy pursued the SUV from Rushing Rd onto 4-H Club Rd. where the driver came to an abrupt stop at the above intersection.”

Sheriff Ard says that the driver, later identified as Beason, pulled out a gun and shot at the deputy several times.

“My deputy returned fire,” Sheriff Ard noted. “The subject then fled west on Springwood Dr. – on foot. The LPSO deputy was not injured and it is believed, at this point, the driver of the vehicle was not injured.”

The deputy involved in the fatal shooting is on paid administrative leave, which is standard procedure.

“I am so thankful that not one – but two deputies – are safe and are able to return home to their families,” Ard added. “Today, we had one suspect – with no respect for authority – attempt to kill those who choose to serve and protect. It’s tragic, really. Decisions made by one individual, at the end of the day, cost him his life. My thoughts and prayers are with the suspect’s family. I’m thankful that my deputies are uninjured. I’m thankful that no citizen was hurt in the process.”
