4 arrests made, 2 treated for injuries, after disturbance involving over 50 people in Monroe
At least two people were given medical attention in the aftermath of a disturbance that involved 50 to 70 people Sunday evening in a Monroe, Michigan, neighborhood. Four people have been arrested so far as a result of the incident, the Monroe Police Department said in its report. The city department was assisted on-site by the Monroe County Sheriff's Office and the Michigan State Police. The altercation erupted in the area of East Third Street and Half Street, on the east side of the city. "Authorities were alerted after receiving reports of a large fight involving multiple people, with indications that weapons might have been present," the police report said. "When Monroe Police officers arrived, they encountered a chaotic scene, with an estimated crowd of 50 to 70 people engaged in shouting and physical altercations." Police said they separated those involved to determine what happened and restore order. Officers then determined that the incident resulted from an earlier altercation and domestic situation earlier in the day. Witnesses helped identify several people who were involved in the initial fight, and two victims needed medical attention for their injuries. In the aftermath, police took four people into custody who will face charges as a result of the incident. Additional people may be charged as well. To assist in the ongoing investigation, police are asking area residents to share their videos of the disturbance, or call tips and information to the Monroe Detective Bureau at 734-243-7516. "This disturbance not only affected those directly involved but also disrupted the entire neighborhood. Such behavior will not and should not be tolerated," the police department said.

Two stolen Jeeps recovered after police pursuit in Monroe County
Two stolen Jeep Wranglers that were driven out of Ohio into Michigan were recovered after a police pursuit early Monday in Monroe County. The Monroe County Sheriff's Office said in its report that Michigan authorities got involved about 1 a.m. when Monroe County Central Dispatch was alerted to three stolen Jeeps possibly heading into Michigan. Deputies then positioned themselves along Interstate 75 to be on the lookout for the vehicles. Shortly after that call, Central Dispatch got multiple reports of three Jeep Wranglers traveling at high rates of speed along another northbound route: South Telegraph Road, US-24. The vehicles were spotted by Monroe Police Department officers when they drove into the city, and a pursuit began. City police handed off the pursuit to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office as the stolen vehicles neared the northbound city limits. A deputy who was by this time in the area of Stewart Road, on the north side of the city limits, saw one of the Jeeps westbound at a high rate of speed. A second deputy saw a second jeep turning north on North Monroe Street at Stewart Road, also at a high rate of speed. Both deputies began pursuits as the suspects split up, one westbound and the other northbound. The westbound Jeep continued speeding onto Bluebush Road, with no headlights on. The deputy followed the Jeep's brake lights as it traveled north on Steffas Road near South Stony Creek Road where it left the road, and drove behind a house. That driver ran off into a nearby wooded area. In the meantime, the northbound Jeep turned from North Monroe Street east onto Newport Road where it got on northbound I-75. The vehicle left the road, landed into thick vegetation. That driver got out and ran off. While the two stolen vehicles were recovered and towed, the suspects could not be located. The South Rockwood Police Department, Michigan State Police, Monroe County Sheriff's Office Drone Team and K-9 Unit also assisted on this case. The incident remains under investigation by Deputy Sheriffs Brent Thomas and Andrew Boski of the Monroe County Sheriff's Office. Deputies ask that anyone with information to share call 734-240-7530, or submit a tip to Crime Stoppers at 800-SPEAK-UP.
