Crash Investigations: Somerset Collection, 2750 W. Big
Beaver, 12/30, 1415 hrs. A 44-year-old female from Detroit
came to the station to report that while in the parking structure, the
vehicle in front of her began to back up and ended up striking the front of
her car. Complainant stated the other
driver proceeded to park and walk away.
Complainant stated when she approached the female driver and pointed
out she just struck her vehicle, the female acknowledged striking her car,
but refused to exchange information.
The female told the complainant that if she would have backed out of
her way, she wouldn’t have been struck.
She also advised the complainant that this was why Michigan had no
fault insurance. The complainant
provided the officer with the subject’s license plate. When the officer contacted the 47-year-old
female from Rochester Hills, she acknowledged striking the complainant’s
vehicle. The officer explained she was
required to exchange her information with the other vehicle’s driver or
report the crash to police. The
subject advised the officer she thought it was the complainant’s
responsibility to back up when she observed her reverse lights come on. She stated she “didn’t provide her
information to the complainant because the complainant was yelling at her.” She told the officer she “didn’t feel it
was necessary to contact the police department either.” She was advised that she needed to come to
the station to complete the report.
She stated she “would,” however never showed up. She failed to respond to a written notice,
as well. A citation was forwarded to
her for “Failure to Stop and Identify” herself at the scene of the property
damage crash. N/B I-75 at the Rochester Road
exit/overpass, 1/12, 0244 hrs. Officers responded to an injury
crash where investigation revealed a ’97 Mercury Sable that was northbound on
I-75 lost control, veered right from the left median across all northbound
lanes, left the roadway onto the grassy area near the exit ramp, went over
the overpass, landed on Rochester Road below where it crashed into the
concrete divider and came to a stop.
The vehicle sustained heavy front end damage, all four tires were
blown and the two front seat airbags deployed. The lone occupant – a 39-year-old female
driver from Bloomfield Hills had to be extricated from the vehicle by the
Troy Fire Department. She was
transported to Royal Oak Beaumont Hospital with what appear to be non-life
threatening injuries. She smelled strongly
of alcohol and admitted “drinking.”
Approximately 35 feet of guardrail was damaged and brought down onto
Rochester Road from the freeway area above by the Sable. The driver was advised she was under arrest
for drunk driving by officers who proceeded to the hospital. She consented to a blood test, although a
search warrant had been obtained for her blood as well. She was released to the care of medical
personnel at the hospital pending toxicology results. Troy
Sports Center, 1819 E. Big Beaver, 12/22, 2103 hrs. Officers
responded to a report of a gray Cadillac CTS being driven recklessly in the
parking lot. Shortly thereafter it was
reported to have crashed into the back wall of one of the stores in the plaza
directly to the east and then fled the scene.
An unoccupied car matching the description was found parked in the west
lot with right front damage and a flat right front tire. The plate came back to a 46-year-old male
from Rochester Hills. Officers began
asking inside the sports arena and a 16-year-old male with the same last name
was pointed out by several people in attendance at a high school hockey
game. The youth admitted crashing the
car, claiming he “dropped his cell phone and lost control.” He stated he “didn’t call police or stop at
the scene of the crash because he was scared and wanted to call his dad
first.” His dad proceeded to walk up
and directed his son to stop speaking with the officers. Several young females came forward and told
the officers that as “they were crossing the lot to enter the arena, the
youth driving the Cadillac was speeding and they had to jump out of his way
to avoid being struck.” They estimated
the speed at 40 mph. They stated they “heard
the sound of a crash just after he sped by them and went out of sight behind
the building.” Another witness
reported the Cadillac came very close to the girls as it sped by. He stated as “it went around the corner he
heard the crash and called 911.” The
investigating officer was eventually able to review video tape from the lot
and observed the girls scrambling out of its path as the Cadillac drove
through the lot where they were crossing. It went out of view just before the
crash. Juvenile charges
for “Reckless Driving,” “Failing to Stop and ID at a Property Damage Crash,”
and “Driving without a License in Possession” were initiated against the
driver. Credit, Check, Identity Theft, and
other Fraud: Starbucks,

computer/notebook was fraudulently purchased and shipped to a location in
Rockford, MI. A 70-year-old
female complainant contacted by a bank representative following-up on a
$14,500.00 loan application wherein she was listed as a guarantor. The loan was originated by a 33-year-old
male from Detroit. Complainant
confirmed the application was fraudulent and advised several similar
unsuccessful attempts have been made using her personal information by the
same subject in the past. She does not
know the subject and is unaware how her personal information was compromised. Complainant
reported she was scheduled to receive a company credit card at work. She did not pick it up at the company’s
Human Resources Department on the delivery date as she was out of town on
business. When she returned, she
discovered $5004.63 worth of fraudulent charges against the card at retail
outlets in Troy, other cities as well as on line. Apparently someone obtained the card while
she was gone. The billing address had
been changed to a location in Oak Park. Complainant
reported receiving a call from a cash advance service trying to confirm an
on-line cash loan request under her name. Complainant confirmed it was fraudulent. Complainant
reported receiving a call from her cell phone company confirming an on-line
change in her billing address made using her name and last four digits of her
social security number. She confirmed
the attempt was fraudulent. A 78-year-old
female from Troy reported receiving a call from a male who identified himself
as representing a medical group that was supplying senior citizens with a
medical card that would pay 80% of the person’s medical bills. He wanted to verify her name, address, and
bank account information. The bank
account information was not provided without any losses to complainant. Domestics/Family Troubles: Troy Officers responded to five
incidents involving family troubles/domestic disputes where investigations
revealed no assaults or other crimes occurred, therefore no formal
enforcement action was taken. One report involving a PPO violation
was made. Drugs/Narcotics: Female

she was found in possession of partially smoked blunt containing
marijuana. She was cited and released

several juveniles drove up. Apparently
words were exchanged when the driver of the car stopped to question one of
the three males about why he was saying “mean things’ about his sister. (His sister was one of the occupants of the
vehicle.) Apparently the youth used to
be the boyfriend of the driver’s sister.
During the exchange one of the three subjects ran into his garage and
came out with the bat and started swinging at the car. (He was not the ex-boyfriend.) As officers approached, another of the

receipt. The number was for a $17.56
book entitled, “The Biggest Looser.”
Shortly thereafter a male subject entered the book area and asked for
a copy of the same book. The employee
thought the voice sounded like the same subject that called earlier. The employee reported the incident to LPO’s
who watched the subject place the book in an empty shopping bag that he
pulled out of his pocket. He
approached customer service, presented a receipt, and obtained cash
refund. Suspect exited the store
before LPO’s were able to detain him. Suspect was a male, 5’-6,” 155, wearing
a black jacket, black hat, black shoes and white scarf. Target,

The suspect proceeded to the Toy Department where he located the two
items and then placed them in an empty shopping bag he removed from his
jacket pocket. He went to customer
service where he presented the bag with the dart game and phone along with a
receipt listing the same SKU numbers and obtained a $19.06 cash refund. As the LPO attempted to detain the suspect
he tried to flee, however he gave up when he observed responding uniformed
Troy officers approaching that had been summoned to the scene by the LPO when
she first observed the suspect back in the store. The 49-year-old male suspect from Detroit

two suspects entered carrying bags that appeared to be empty. Shortly after

hrs. LPO’s recognized two of three male
suspects from two prior retail frauds in their store where MP3 players and
video games were stolen; however the LPO’s were unable to detain the suspects
before they made their escape. On
today’s date, the LPO’s observed the two suspects load three flat screen TV’s
from the Electronics Department into their cart. They pushed the cart through the store and
eventually out of the store without paying for the TV’s. One was observed making a cell phone call
just before they exited. Once in the lot, they loaded the TV’s into an
awaiting red ’97 Dodge Caravan driven by the third male suspect from the
prior thefts. The van left the lot. LPO’s provided its description to Troy
