A paramedic from the Detroit Fire Department has been placed on leave following an incident where he crashed an ambulance while under the influence of alcohol, NY Post reported.
The unnamed paramedic side-swiped three cars while transporting a patient through Hamtramck, a city located just north of downtown Detroit, in the early hours of Friday morning. Following the crash, he remained at the scene until the police arrived. The paramedic, who has been employed by the department for six years, was later tested in accordance with department procedures and found to be intoxicated.
“We have a zero-tolerance policy for the use of alcohol while on duty and will take the appropriate action,”
Detroit Fire Department Commissioner Chuck Simms said in a statement.
“We have an outstanding team of EMTs and paramedics at DFD and it’s unfortunately that this incident detracts from the lifesaving work they do every day.”
Simms added,
“We have programs and supportive services in place for our employees who may be struggling with issues such as alcohol dependency and we will redouble our efforts to make sure any employee who may need them are aware of how to access them.”
The individual being transported in the ambulance did not sustain any injuries.
According to the department, the paramedic has a clean record with no prior accidents or incidents involving alcohol.
Security footage captured the moment when two young girls were forced to jump from the fifth floor of a Detroit apartment building after their mom’s ex-boyfriend allegedly set it ablaze, per Fox News.
The video reveals brave neighbors standing beside a mattress placed on the sidewalk, ready to catch the 8-year-old girl who successfully made the leap. As she looked up at the burning building, her sister and mother remained trapped inside. The 14-year-old sister followed but suffered serious injuries, while firefighters rescued their mother.
The accused, Marion Scruggs, 43, was caught on camera igniting the fire.
“This person tried to kill not just the whole family, but any and everybody that was in that building,”
Detroit Police Chief James White told FOX 2.
Apprehended within 24 hours, Scruggs, with a history of domestic violence, faced charges in 2019 for intentionally setting fire to his girlfriend’s home, resulting in a tragic dog’s death. The connection to the recent apartment fire remains uncertain.
Online records reveal that Scruggs is presently in custody, facing charges of first-degree home invasion, first-degree arson, and assault with intent to murder. Bail has been set at $1 million, and his upcoming court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday.

A well-known ex-gangster from Detroit turned undercover FBI informant was apprehended again after reportedly assaulting his girlfriend who became angry with him because he said the incorrect name while they were engaging in sexual activity, reports the New York Post.
53-year-old Richard Wershe Jr. also known as White Boy Rick was taken into custody on Wednesday after attacking the woman in their condo in Miami, reports WPLG-TV. The unnamed girlfriend claimed that they began arguing on Saturday when he
“uttered another woman’s name.”
She attempted to get out of bed; however, Wershe grasped her hand and nabbed a diamond bracket and necklace he previously gifted her.
The woman informed officials that she managed to get away by tossing a shoe at him, yet she missed. Shortly after, Wershe punched her in the chest. A bystander, who didn’t specify why they were at the scene, confirmed the woman’s story. Officials say the unidentified woman waited until Tuesday to report the encounter because she was scared about her immigration status. The man was later arrested and charged with felony robbery by sudden snatching and a misdemeanor battery charge, reports The Post.

A nine-year-old girl is in Detroit police custody after recording herself with a large kitchen knife and describing how she was planning to hurt a classmate, Fox News 2 reported.
In the video, the fifth grader is seen making stabbing motions in the air and imitating slitting a throat. “Here is what I am going to do with you,” the elementary schooler says. After learning about the footage, the mother of the girl who received the threats immediately notified Detroit Public Schools Community District. She says the two girls were friends before the 9-year-old was left out of a party.
“You can’t play like that with threats,” said the mother whose daughter was threatened. “Before she sent the video she said, ‘F*** my daughter.’ I was really disturbed by it, I was upset.”
Initially, the girl who made the video was suspended for three days from Vernor Elementary School, where the two attend the fifth grade. After speaking with the Detroit Police Department, the nine-year-old was brought into custody.
“I hope that she gets some help, and I hope that they figure out what’s going on with her and her life,” the threatened girl’s mother said. “If something was to happen to her, only God knows, because I don’t play those type of games.”
A man who confessed to putting a teen’s body in a trash bin has been released from custody. According to Fox, 24-year-old Jaylin Brazier’s confession led to a huge, yet, failed search for the teen in a suburban landfill in Detroit.
The mother of the teen, Zion Foster, who was merely 17 at the time expressed her concerned saying,
“I’m livid. I’m absolutely livid.”
Previously, Brazier was sentenced to 23 months in prison back in 2022 after lying to officials amid the investigation. Authorities believe that the teen was a victim of homicide; however, no one has been apprehended or charged Zion’s death. Brazier was discharged on parole this week as his final stop in prison was the 90-day program, which
“focuses on changing negative behavior into socially acceptable behavior,”
says the website for the Department of Corrections.
Chris Gautz, a spokesperson told The Detroit News,
“The judge has to sign off for the prisoner to take part in it. The state law governing the program says that successful completion results in an automatic parole.”
Cierra Milton, the mother of the teen, revealed that she wasn’t notified of any changes to Brazier’s sentence. Milton said,
“He didn’t even get the 23 months.”
Back in March 2022, when Brazier was sentenced, he informed the judge that the teen became unconscious while smoking marijuana and he didn’t notify emergency responders. He said,
“I don’t know what caused it. I did not cause it.”
Officials later learned that Zion’s body was placed in a dumpster, which landed on a huge landfill. Officials searched the landfill for five months; however, couldn’t find the teen. Officials note that the case is still being investigated.
According to WXYZ, Zion and Brazier were reportedly cousins.
#Clique, let’s keep Zion’s mother in our thoughts and prayers!
