However, in order to do a complete and thorough investigation it is necessary to speak with the victim. Our hope is that, in due time, the victim will be able to comply with our request. As of this time, we will not be forwarding the complaint to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office.
The Madison Heights Police Department has not received, nor do we have knowledge of, any additional complaints against Charles Pugh. We thank you for your patience and request that you honor the families request to not be contacted.
