This falls into the category of a post that shows up during a kind of “slow news cycle” around here at EMUTalk.org: “Drug search in Mich. nabs criminal justice student,” which appeared in the Chicago Tribune but which probably showed up on wire services all over the place. Here are the opening paragraphs about a student who is probably not one of our shining stars:
WEST BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Authorities say an Eastern Michigan University criminal justice student is getting some real-life experience that might not improve his resume.
Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte says the student at the Ypsilanti school was arrested Tuesday after firing a shot through a door as the sheriff’s tactical team helped execute a federal search warrant in Oakland County’s West Bloomfield Township.
No one was injured.
I don’t know, but I am pretty sure that the criminal justice profs suggest to their students to not shoot at the cops pretty much on the first or second day of class. Anyway, thanks for sharing, Chris!
Update: Another regular/loyal EMUTalk.org reader sent me this link to a more complete story of the incident from the Livingston Daily. I don’t know, but there’s something about this that reminds me a little of the scene in Pulp Fiction where the guy bursts out and fires at Vincent and Jules and miraculously misses them. Of course, it turns out a lot worse in the movie.
