Detroit And Hamtramck Police Chase Kidnapping Suspect

Dispatch Audio Of Pursuit Through Hamtramck

A Little Bit Of Florida Sunshine In Detroit

The D -10:00AM April 4 2017: Detroit Police were taken on a wild ride through the streets of Detroit & Hamtramck early this morning by a “delusional” kidnapping suspect.

What started off as a routine possible kidnapping call on Detroit’s border with Hamtramck ended up as a highlight worthy of an NFL post-game show…if this were football season, and it ain’t…but who cares?

Detroit Police scouts of the 11th Precinct were called to the area of Gable & Nevada at around 10:00AM on reports of a possible kidnapping.

On arrival, the officers were advised by a witness that a child had been heard screaming and a blue panel van was seen leaving the scene at a high rate of speed.

The officers caught up to the van and starting following it, not pursuing, just following. The vehicle, bearing Florida license plates, was connected to a felony and wanted by law enforcement.

The vehicle also matched the description of a vehicle that had fled DPD officers earlier.

As the officers followed the vehicle driven by a white female, permission was asked for and granted to “activate” lights and sirens.

Once the pretty lights started to flash and the wailing of the siren was heard by the suspected kidnapper, she floored it, leading the DPD, Hamtramck and a couple of other law enforcement agencies on a circuitous route through the beautiful City of Hamtramck.

The driver, obviously unaware of Michigan traffic laws, sped through the streets, drove over lawns and committed the most serious offense by leading police on a pursuit driving a flippin’ panel van.

In the beginning of the pursuit and the driving force behind the pursuit was the belief a child had been abducted and still inside the vehicle.

The Detroit Police have a very conservative pursuit policy and most pursuits are terminated due to public and officer safety.

The belief; later proved false, that a child was inside the pursued vehicle gave DPD supervisors the ability to approve the pursuit.

Towards the end of the pursuit, Hamtramck took the lead, a typical occurrence when a pursuit enters another jurisdiction, when a very aggressive Hamtramck PD Unit crowds the suspects vehicle at Caniff and the I-75.

Could this be our soon to be heroine?

So there we are, screaming through the streets of Hamtramck when the driver makes her FIRST serious mistake, she stopped.

The SECOND serious mistake was she stopped in the immediate vicinity of Officer Barbara B. Badass, now identified as Hamtramck Police Officer Nikole Jabour.

“Sunshine”; our suspected kidnapper from Florida, leaped from her speedy blue panel van and made a beeline for a chain link fence that borders the I-75 freeway.

Enter Officer Barbara B. Badass or now known as Officer Nikole “Crusher” Jabour .

From off camera (televised by Local4News & WXYZ) a streak was momentarily captured on screen.

The streak, Officer Barbara B. Badass sporting a ponytail, wearing glasses and strapped with a very large semi-automatic hogleg on her hip, promptly checked Sunshine from Florida against the boards, well, a chain fence.

Officer Badass grappled Sunshine to the ground, face-planting the miscreant into some of the most excellent SE Michigan mud you’ll ever find.

Other officers soon followed Officer Barbara B. Badasses cue and joined in the take down…but only after watching for a moment or two.

The suspect was then cuffed and placed in the back of a Detroit Public Schools Police unit. She was taken to Detroit Receiving Hospital for a mental evaluation and probably a couple of bandaids.

She was then sent to the 11th Precinct where she was conveyed to the Detroit Detention Center, a block from where the incident started.

Officer Barbara B. Badass was last seen wrestling a very large crocodile that had somehow showed up on the scene.

I kid, but she would.

Man Barricades Himself In Wrecked Car After Pursuit

Sterling Heights, Michigan: A man was taken into custody late Monday evening after leading Michigan State Police on a pursuit through the northern burbs.

Michigan State Police said the pursuit started at the M-59 and Romeo Plank Road for a traffic violation. The suspect refused to stop and lead troopers down the M59 to the I-94 and exited at Metro Parkway.

MSP troopers apparently deployed stop sticks and the suspect ran over the sticks because that’s what suspects do, then promptly lost control of his hot rod.

The suspects vehicle went into a ditch and overturned near Metro Parkway & Schoenherr Road in Sterling Heights.

Troopers were attempting to arrest the suspect when he announced he was armed and threatened to shoot the troopers.

MSP troopers being really smart, disengaged from the suspect and attempted to negotiate.

The suspect may have been in no mood to negotiate since he may have taken a shift knob right in the garden of good and evil during the roll. Rolling your vehicle can be and often is quite uncomfortable.

MSP’s Emergency Support Team and a negotiator were summoned to the scene.

The suspect kept troopers at bay for a short time and at 11:45PM, realizing it was useless to resist and how bad can spending Easter in jail really be , surrendered peacefully.

Michigan State Police 1, Knucklehead 0.

Local 4 News captured the ending on tape, bless their little hearts. The suspect, slowly and painfully, removed himself from the destroyed vehicle and into the loving, caring hands of the Michigan State Police.


I’m sure he’s thinking it was probably a bad idea to run from the MSP….or not, he might be an epically stupid guy.

Live and learn.

The wheels on the bus go round and round.
