Overview
- Washtenaw County deputies set up a safety perimeter for a reported armed domestic assault on the 1100 block of Harris Road and tried to reach a suspected barricaded man.
- A separate vehicle drove through the secured area at high speed and was stopped with a tire-deflation device before deputies arrested the driver.
- Cellphone video that circulated online appears to show a deputy taking the arrested man, identified by family as Derrick Tinsley, to the ground and his head striking pavement.
- Officials say all children at the scene were found safe and released to relatives and that no injuries were reported while the sheriff’s office reviews the footage and scene information.
- Tinsley was arraigned on charges including resisting police and child abuse, was released on bond, and his family alleges he suffered a concussion and memory loss as they press for a formal probe.
