A rookie officer in Wyandotte, Michigan, used a grappler to stop a vehicle being driven at a high rate of speed by a convicted felon. The driver, a 32-year-old woman, had prior arrests for several felonies, including assault with intent to do great bodily harm and felony possession of a stolen motor vehicle.
According to police, the woman was in a stolen vehicle at the time and was also charged with possession of crack cocaine and fleeing and eluding police. She was already on probation for some of her previous convictions.
The Wyandotte Police Department praised the officer’s actions, saying, ‘It’s great policework like this that ensures our community members don’t wake up in the morning to find their car had been stolen, or that their work truck had been broken into; or that their house had been burglarized. The crimes that are prevented by these officers are truly immeasurable.’
