A driver accused of fleeing Monroe police officers overnight crashed his car into a river and was found soaking wet, deputies said.

MONROE, Mich. Demonstrators are planning to gather at St. Marys Park in Monroe on Monday afternoon in solidarity with a local Black teen that was severely assaulted on Saturday evening. Officials say Devin Freelon -- an 18-year-old senior at Orchard Center High School who was poised to graduate this week -- was attacked at Sterling State Park in a racially-motivated crime. A 42-year-old man from Newport is accused of verbally attacking Freelon and his friends with racial slurs, and then hitting the teen in the face with a weapon. The racially-charged attack occurred amid a significant national outcry against racism following the killing of Black Minneapolis man George Floyd. Monroe protest organizers shared the event details for Mondays protest on Facebook demanding Justice for Devin and saying, This is why we march.RELATED: We can change the world -- Day 10 of protests ends peacefully in Detroit
