WASHTENAW COUNTY, Mich. – Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has cleared a Washtenaw County deputy involved in a rough arrest that led to days of protests.
A deputy with the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office was accused of striking a woman at a shooting scene three times in her head.
The allegations sparked charges of racism and police brutality and led to four days of protests against the department.
Nessel said her office would review any allegations of police misconduct and brutality, and investigation revealed the woman making the claims, Sha’Teina Grady, was the person using force against the deputy, according to authorities.
Grady inflicted severe injuries on the deputy after she was asked to stop interfering with their investigation, officials said.
