In the house

Deputies were able to locate a wallet on the floor area of the car with a Michigan driver’s license. After several minutes of being on scene and looking for information, a woman came walking up from the backyard area where the vehicle had struck the tree. She was crying and had blood on her face. As she got closer, deputies could see she had several fresh scratches on her legs that were also bleeding. She was later identified as the owner of the wallet. Brandon Fire was already on the scene, but she refused medical treatment. The woman said she had been at her boyfriend’s house and they had been drinking and got into an argument. She was scared for her safety as her boyfriend had been violent in the past and drove off in a hurry and didn’t know what happened after that. She was given a preliminary breath test, with a result of .197. She was then advised she was under arrest and was transported to the hospital for a blood draw. She was also medically cleared for lodging and was transported to Oakland County Jail.
Drugs and driving
At 6:34 p.m., Aug. 22, Brandon deputies observed a vehicle traveling 67 miles per hour in a 50 MPH zone. They initiated a traffic stop and approached the vehicle.

The driver stated he did not have a license and he was just driving because the passenger didn’t feel well, so he wanted to be nice and drive. At that time, he was ordered to exit the vehicle. While speaking, the passenger moved over to the driver’s seat. Deputies then noticed a syringe in the passenger side door of the vehicle. The passenger was then asked to get out as well. They were both asked if there was anything illegal inside of the vehicle and they consented for a vehicle search. Deputies found a handbag containing several syringes and a gold container with a clear, rock like substance believed to be methamphetamine. Both of the occupants were handcuffed and taken to the patrol vehicles. The passenger stated that everything in the vehicle was hers and that the driver didn’t know of anything in the vehicle. She did not know if the gold container contained heroin or methamphetamine. Deputies also discovered an assortment of pills packaged in clear baggies. A check was run on LEIN, and the driver had multiple warrants. All of the warrants came back to advise and release. The driver was issued citations for not having a license and for speeding.
