“Peace out”
At 5:51 p.m., July 29, Brandon deputies responded to a request for assistance from another law enforcement agency. While patrolling, deputies observed a three car vehicle accident in Groveland Township. They advised dispatch to notify the Michigan State Police and Groveland Township Fire Department. There were two occupants that were bleeding from their hands and arms and deputies gave them bandages to help stop the bleeding. After about ten minutes, an MSP car drove up to the scene. Deputies began to flag the trooper to park his vehicle in the roadway to help with traffic, and the trooper gave a ‘peace out’ hand gesture and drove away, leaving Brandon deputies at the scene. Deputies advised dispatch that they would take the accident since MSP drove away. About 20 minutes later, another MSP officer arrived on the scene and stated he did not know who that trooper was that drove by. He then asked if he could go because deputies looked like they had the accident taken care of and he had a call in Holly Township. Deputies took the accident report.

He said they had ongoing issues with his son’s drinking, and that he had come home that night and he believed his son was under the influence of alcohol. He asked his son for the cup he was drinking out of so he could check it, and his son pushed past him and went into his room. He denied hitting his son and asked about information to have his son removed from the house. Deputies spoke to the man’s wife, who said they had suspected their son of drinking that night. She said she found two empty alcoholic drink cans in his bag and had asked him for his cell phone, which is in the parent’s name and their son is supposed to make the monthly payment for, which he had not been doing. He refused to give it to her and she said her husband went into his room to retrieve it. She was given advice on possibly getting him petitioned for his substance abuse as well as advice on the eviction process. Deputies also spoke with the son, who stated he had come home and poured two alcoholic drinks into his cup and went inside. He said he did not have anything to drink prior to or while driving.
