Deputies Under Scrutiny
Four Washtenaw County deputies are on leave after a deadly police shooting earlier this month in Ypsilanti. Sheriff Alyshia Dyer says a deputy shot and killed a 34-year-old St. Clair County man after he fled a felony traffic stop on January 6th near Michigan Avenue and Prospect Road. Deputies said they believed the man was armed, but investigators later found no weapon in his vehicle. Michigan State Police are handling the case, and the sheriff says body camera footage will be released soon.
