The Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office reported the following details to the City of Dexter:
On October 3rd, Deputies were dispatched to the 6900 block of Wellington Drive for a suspicious vehicle parked in the caller’s driveway. Deputies arrived and contacted the driver, a 25-year-old Ann Arbor resident. Deputies detected the odor of intoxicants coming from the driver and requested they conduct field sobriety evaluations. Upon completion of the field sobriety evaluations, Deputies determined the driver was intoxicated, and they were placed under arrest.
After transporting the driver to the hospital and obtaining a blood sample, the driver refused to get back into the patrol vehicle and attempted to assault Deputies. Deputies secured the assailant with the assistance of University of Michigan Officers. However, while on the way to the jail, the assailant began kicking the rear window of the patrol vehicle. Deputies obtained the lab results for the driver’s blood, which returned over three times the legal limit. Charges have been submitted for operating while intoxicated, resisting arrest, and malicious destruction of police property.
