Farmington Hills police officer accused of domestic violence, firing gun, stalking another officer

Mario Vekic arrested by Warren police officers while on duty

FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. – A Farmington Hills police officer is accused of domestic violence, improperly firing a gun and stalking a fellow officer at the department, authorities said.

Mario Vekic is a former Detroit police officer who graduated from the Detroit Police Academy in 2017, officials said.

He jumped to a job in Farmington Hills, and a few months later, another officer was hired at the department, according to police. An apparent police department relationship formed, but then it turned criminal, officials said.
