DETROIT
(Tell Us
Det) - A
police
investigation
is being
conducted
by two
local
law
enforcement
agencies
after a
chase
ended in
a crash,
arrest
and
beating
Saturday
afternoon
on
Detroit's
east
side.
The
crash
occurred
in the
area of
Kercheval
and
Marlboro
streets
where it
ended
after
Grosse
Pointe
Park
police
pursued
suspect
Cory
Williams
from an
unknown
GPP
location
into
Detroit.
Authorities
say the
suspect
who led
officers
on a
chase
was
injured
by the
crash
coupled
with an
altercation
with
police,
and was
taken to
the
hospital
to be
treated
pending
being
transported
to Wayne
County
Jail.
According
to
witnesses,
immediately
after
the
crash,
Grosse
Pointe
Park
police
along
with
their
K-9 unit
tracked
Williams
to his
Philip
St.
appartment
on
Detroit's
east
side.
The
street
was
blocked
off
temporarily
as
police
apprehended
him at a
nearby
duplex
where he
was
hiding.
As
Williams
climbed
out of a
basement
window
GPP
police
surrounded
him
until
DPD
arrived
to make
the
arrest.
Neighbors
recorded
footage
using
cellphones,
showing
police
using a
stungun
on
Williams
multiple
times
where it
took at
least
five
officers
to take
Williams
into
custody.
Family
members
said
Williams
has
plates
in his
legs
from a
collision
years
ago and
relies
on a
walker
for
mobility.
Others
say they
never
seen him
with any
walking
aide.
Some
still
believe
police
went too
far
during
his
arrest.
Police
said
Williams
was on
the run
and some
witnesses
said he
was
resisting
arrest.
"We’re
going to
do a
thorough
investigation
to make
sure
policy
was
followed,
and, if
not, we
will
take
proper
discipline,"
said
Capt.
Kari
Sloan of
the
Detroit
police.
