Bath Township police officers placed on leave after tasing, shooting at suspect
BATH TWP. — At least two Bath Township police officers were placed on paid administrative leave after shooting at and tasing a male offender terrorizing township residents on July 12, at one point holding a knife to a resident's throat . Injuries of victims were treated at the scene, and the offender arrested is in stable condition at a University of Michigan Health – Sparrow hospital, the Bath Township Police Department said on its Facebook page regarding an 'officer-involved shooting.' Police did not provide an age or hometown of the suspect but said officers were not injured. The Michigan State Police is investigating the incident, which is routine for officer-involved shootings. Bath police said in their release that officers were dispatched to the 6000 block of Heathfield Drive, east of Park Lake Road and near Pine Hollow Drive, at about 2:27 p.m. because a 'suspicious individual' was walking through yards and trying to break into vehicles. A caller said the suspect entered a garage at a neighbor's residence and wasn't seen departing. Soon after, a second caller from the 16000 block of Nichols Road, also near Pine Hollow Drive, told dispatchers 'that he had been stabbed by an unknown person who entered his home. ' Officers were able to enter the Nichols Road home. 'The offender held the victim hostage with a knife to the victim's throat,' police said. 'During the encounter, the offender separated from the victim and fled out of a side door of the residence. The offender was still in possession of the knife and began running from the scene.' Officers ordered the offender to stop, but he continued running towards the Meadows neighborhood. 'Both officers on scene discharged their service weapons,' police said. The offender was able to enter an English Oak Drive residence, locking the door behind him. Officers yelled and kicked at the door, and a resident was able to go to the front door to be removed and evacuated from the home, uninjured and unaware the offender was inside. The offender fled again. 'One officer discharged his service weapon as the offender entered the neighbor's garage,' police said 'Officers apprehended the offender after a short struggle. A taser was deployed, and the offender was taken into custody. 'Officers on scene immediately rendered aid to the injured offender and requested emergency medical services.'

Bare-knuckle boxer who beat up OAP 'regrets nothing' as 'nobody threatens my family'
A former bare-knuckle boxer who battered a 78-year-old in a pub said he had 'no regrets' about what he did. Dougie Joyce, who is part of one of Greater Manchester's most well-known Traveller families, was jailed in November 2023 following the attack on the pensioner. CCTV showed Joyce repeatedly punch the OAP while wearing a large gold ring, before encouraging his father to join in. READ MORE: Ticketless Oasis fans 'storm fences' at Manchester Heaton Park show Joyce, who was jailed for 19 months for GBH, was described as an "aggressive and violent man" by police. Speaking in a recent interview with the Criminal Connection podcast, Joyce told host Terry Stone: "I never regret anything I do in life. "I regret being in that situation. But I don't regret anything I do because everything I do is for a reason." The Manchester Evening News reports that Joyce described the vicious assault as "just one of them moments inside of a pub". He said the victim had insulted his father, John Joyce - who was given a community order for his part in the attack. "The bottom line of the story is my father knocked him spark out 35 years ago. That was it," he said. "But what it was he was holding a grudge against my father. He's obviously not got over it. "There was a little bit of commotion. And then he got very abusive coming out with his name calling and then he just took it one step too far. "He threatened my family. Nobody threatens my family. I don't care who you are. "Obviously I've got drink in my system and I'm an alpha male and the thing is I'll always protect my family. "So, I've done what I've done and at the end of the day, I've paid the price, been to jail. It's the past. I put it behind me. It is what it is." He also touched on his time in Strangeways and Forest Bank during the podcast and said: "It was plain sailing. "Just kept my head down, got on with it, done my gym, met a few nice fellas in there. "I know a lot of people anyways from in inside out and there was no issues whatsoever."
