Maple, 9/9, 0000 hrs. Officers observed a 23-year-old
male from Troy out on foot in a semi-secure lot behind the closed
business. When asked what he was
doing, he claimed to “be a part of the cleaning crew,” however there was no
cleaning crew on site. Officers
discovered that a pane of glass had been removed from one of the over-head
garage doors leading into the service area to afford access. It appears the suspect accessed the
lot by crawling under the fencing.
There was a footprint on the knocked out pane of glass that resembled
the pattern on the shoes the subject was wearing. The subject had approximately $36.00 of loose change in
his possession. It appears he
was going through cars parked in the service garage and stealing loose
change. He was arrested. Kevin, 9/9, 1400-2115
hrs. Complainant found the
screen cut on her side door to gain access to the lock and open it. Access into the residence was not
successful as the chain lock on the door behind the screen door held. Crash Investigations: 14 Mile and I-75, 8/30,
0845 hrs. Complainant stated he
was driving W/B when he came to a stop and a green ’93 Plymouth Sundance
crashed into him from behind.
The female driver of the Sundance backed up and struck the car behind
her, and then fled westbound in the eastbound lanes of 14 Mile. Her license plate was obtained. Investigators responded to the
29-year-old female registered owner’s residence in Troy and could not locate
her or her vehicle. On 9/2 her
vehicle was located by officers at her home. Vehicle had damage to the front and rear bumpers
consistent with the crash including paint transfer that matched the vehicles
she struck. She was interviewed
and matched the description of the at-fault driver, but she “denied
involvement in the crash.”
During a follow-up interview on 9/4, she “admitted being in the crash,
but claimed the vehicle behind her actually struck her rather than her
backing into it.” She said when
“she saw the driver approaching her on foot, she panicked and fled. She was cited and released for
“Careless Driving,” “Fail to Stop and ID at a Crash,” and “Fail to Stop in an
Assured Clear Distance.” Credit, Check, Identity Theft, and other Fraud: Complainant reported
several unauthorized withdrawals totaling $400.00 from his bank account that

prescribed the drug by the complainant. Complainant reported
seven fraudulent purchases totaling approximately $1116.00 were made at
various stores in Troy using his debit card account number. Domestics/Family Troubles: Troy Officers responded

the front seat passenger threw an object out of his window. The officer
stopped the Mercury. The 24-year-old male driver from Royal Oak didn’t have his
license. He eventually turned
over a baggie containing approximately 9 grams of marijuana from the center
console of the vehicle. He was
arrested. The object thrown out
the window by the passenger turned out to be an envelope containing
approximately 4.5 grams of marijuana.
