WARREN, Mich. – A Sterling Heights man has been indicted on seven counts of assaulting federal officers after allegedly dragging officers with his car during a chaotic arrest.
The incident happened March 29 at a Days Inn near 14 Mile Road in Warren. According to court documents, 52-year-old Carl Emerson Travis was wanted on several outstanding warrants from across the state, including stalking, assault, domestic violence and more. U.S. Marshalls were alerted that he was at the Days Inn and attempted to arrest him. Agents said he tried to escape in his car, dragging several federal agents and nearly striking others with the vehicle.
