YPSILANTI, Mich. – The Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office Community Advisory Board for Law Enforcement is requesting public input relating to a May incident in the Apple Ridge neighborhood of Ypsilanti.
On May 26, Sha’Teina Grady El and her husband Daniyal Grady El were arrested by Washtenaw County Sheriff’s deputies after allegedly refusing to leave the scene of a shooting. Cell phone video taken by a bystander showed Grady El being punched three times by a deputy, which prompted protests around the sheriff’s office.
Three days later, body camera footage of the incident was presented by Washtenaw County Sherriff Jerry Clayton that showed a bite mark left by Grady El on a deputy’s arm prior to being punched.
There are three ongoing investigations involving the May 26 incident.
