UH-UH. DO NOT. DO NOT. [Music] CHESTERFIELD TOWNSHIP, MICHIGAN. On July 12th, 2024, just after 2:00 p.m., Chesterfield Township police officers Ford and Swinkowski were dispatched to a local hotel to check on the welfare of a man passed out behind the wheel of a vehicle with a broken window. Upon arrival, officers woke the suspect who quickly became uncooperative. Yo, how you doing, boss? It's the police. You good? Hello. Policeman, you all good?

Where is he from? 2633 33 Are you clear to copy? Oh, shit. Prior to relaying information, dispatch asked the officer if he is clear to copy. This is usually done when there is information that might cause trouble for officers if overheard by an involved party. They finally got a return on the plate. It's coming back as a wanted vehicle. Outstanding. As you just heard, dispatch confirms with the information provided by officers, the vehicle they have in front of them fled from St. Clair Shores and is currently wanted. Officers attempted to run the driver through LEIN, or the Law Enforcement Information Network, but it was down and they were unable to get a return to see if the driver was wanted. Get him out. What did they say, the Shores or County? They said the Shores. After several minutes of trying to gather more information from the computer, officers decide to remove the driver, now positively identified as Dejuan Cherry, from the vehicle. How you doing, boss? You do me a favor and step on out for me. What's that? What's that? HEY, STOP. STOP. >> DO NOT. DISPATCH, he's taking OFF FROM US. HE CRASHED OUT. [Music] HE'S STOPPING. BEHIND THE strip mall.

[Music] While one of the detectives tries to calm down Dejuan, other officers begin photographing the damage done to the hotel door as well as the involved vehicles. The original two units returned to their patrol cars which were moved out of the roadway by other police units. An inventory search of Dejuan's vehicle was conducted which resulted in the discovery of a crack pipe. We got a crack There's I wonder if there's a gun in here. I know. There's a crack crack pipe.
