On the afternoon of Monday, November 17 a neighboring police department made a traffic stop and found that the driver of the vehicle had an order for deportation that had been processed through the court system and signed by a judge. The passenger had a detainer (warrant) for arrest. The United States Border Patrol (USBP) responded to the scene of the traffic stop and took the two occupants of the vehicle into custody.
After leaving the scene of the traffic stop, the two arrestees assaulted the USBP agent and one of them escaped from the 10 Mile/Roanoke area in Oak Park. Numerous area agencies, including USBP and Pleasant Ridge PD, responded to search for the escaped arrestee.
This incident began with the neighboring police department finding the detainer/warrant specific to the occupants of the vehicle during a routine traffic stop. The various Federal and local agencies in and around the area yesterday were searching for the escaped arrestee who had assaulted a law enforcement officer.
